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.

MODERATORS
Their claim was that it would win on the 1/4 mile
Electric vehicles have no/single speed transmissions. Of course they can accelerate faster, because they don't have to have the driver operating the clutch and cycling through all the gears before they get up to pace.
What they did is basically say Usain Bolt is the world's fastest marathon runner by filming his 100m race and "extrapolating"
But "debunking" that claim by pointing out that "he's not the fastest he's ackshually just a little bit slower than the fastest" is doing musk's work for him.
Is the Cybertruck the Usain Bolt of 1/8 mile races? From the article it sounds like they compared a mid 1/8 miler with a massive launch advantage to a mid marathoner.
