Enough Musk Spam

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

I just had to Google something...

You shift a Tesla with a fucking touchscreen? Jesus Christ have we all lost our minds?

I had to rent one a year ago as it was the only car available when I flew out of state. The windshield wipers and headlights are also activated on the touchscreen. But they're not all on the same screen at once, you have to navigate through several menus to find each one.

Cost cutting. Easier to just stick a touch screen in and run the whole UI through software. Look at how much they cheaped out on the steering wheel.
