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.

Oh boy, now only authorized brigading will be allowed. This can't possibly make things worse..
I mean, Gigafactory Berlin (and Google itself) is trash, but it's not really in a review service's best interest to let users publish negative reviews for places the person has never been to.
There's probably some trigger that kicks in of x amount of people who aren't from the area write negative reviews about a specific place within a certain time frame that soft-locks reviews and says "this place is probably being brigaded."
This isn't even to get into whether or not controversies surrounding a building's construction are appropriate reasons for a review
I've rated a couple of places without having been there, this never happened. Look at how many people give five stars without a comment for this factory. A 4.2 rating for a Tesla factory outside Berlin is just dubious.
Holy shit, you’re so close! These types of rules you’re complaining about have to be implemented specifically because of people like you who do what you’re admitting to doing. So fucking close.
google does not care about the fake reviews in Pyongyang. My review was not fake, i gave my reasons in this post. I did not know how much you all want to help google to be the honorable service to review every place on earth.
No, we just fucking hate the shitty reviews left by people who haven’t really been to the place, and the people who leave them.
Fuck Google, and fuck review abusers. Weird that we can care about two things at once, right?!
Your energy is the same energy as “my little brother got my Fortnite account hacked by banning, and they won’t honor my ‘father’s’ email proving it was him and not me!” Gunna ask why we all support Epic Games by being okay with banning cheaters?
Yeah well you shouldn't do that
Why do you say that? The Germans love Teslas. You don't think people would positively rate a modern factory that will provide cheaper cars and job opportunities for people? On the subject of "they had to cut down a forest to build it," you do know that was a lumber farm, right? It wasn't an old growth forest.
Tesla faces hurdle in Germany as locals vote to oppose factory expansion
This factory is unpopular. So many people don't buy Tesla.
