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.

No one ever fucking lived to that age for fuck's sake!
That's the"fraud" they supposedly found
Methuselah would like a word
In that case I think "year" means "lunar cycle". This makes a more natural age (80-something IIRC)
Maybe, but you don’t know that. You only know the data you have doesn’t make sense. You can’t just make something up and claim it’s correct: you have no way of knowing what the real data is , nor are you an authority
It’s probably logical to not pay out social security for 900 years, but that’s just an additional business process for handling bad data
I also have doubts about the correctness of the specific claim, but of course there’s bad data. How could there not be? That doesn’t mean you can claim fraud, it means you can check with the processes that keep money from being sent out where there is bad data.
I especially had a chuckle from the article where they said 90,000 claims are being sent out for people 100 yr old or more ….. yet the claim is that 10 million of those are fraud?
