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.

Not ‘Used to Losing’: Apparent Elon Musk Pep Talk to His Cursor Staff Paints Sad Picture (gizmodo.com)

It sounds like Musk did not mince words, telling his newly acquired staffers that they were his way of playing catch-up. The Information summed up his description of his apparent predicament by saying “he wasn’t used to losing.”

Musk also supposedly said AI models are sure to become too advanced for humanity to control, so he considers it necessary that SpaceX “build the technology before other companies did,” per the Information. This may come across as troubling if you A) agree with Musk about AI becoming impossible to control, but B) don’t trust Musk and only Musk to be the one to control it, like he apparently does.

He actually looks like a polished turd. You can still see his true colors, you can see the little undigested kernels of what went into making him, there's just a weird, reflective, tight, cover on it all.
