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.

My personal theory is that if he publicly appeals to right wing ideology more people overall will buy his cars lol. The Twitter shit is just piece of that.

If it gets the right to embrace electric vehicles, that's a good thing, right?

Remember that electric cars were invented to save the car industry; not the planet.

Yeah, agreed. Public transit and more environmentally- and pedestrian-friendly city design are the real solutions. Nobody should need a car to live.

But progress is progress.

If you live in an urban environment a car should be an inconvenience not a necessity. Maybe, better late than never, we’re starting to see some baby steps in this direction.
