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.

Doddering old man telling Americans the government really wants you to buy a thing didn’t help… shocking.

Desperation is not something people normally look for in the outfits they plan to spend a lot of money with for a purchase they hope to keep for a long time, and I literally couldn’t think of anything that looks more desperate.

Do it again then. And again. And again. Until it helps.

What happened to that whole thing where the president wasn't supposed to endorse or support any products?

Only matters if you're a Democrat.

Well he has spent the last 8 years saying electric is bad.

Cons don't like electric cars because they're a lib thing. Libs don't like it because of Musk. Trump killed funding for charging stations. "Can't these people charge at home?" people don't consider apartments. I never got one because I don't have a place to charge it. There is no good reason to buy one right now.

I wouldn’t even consider an electric vehicle because I live in an apartment so I couldn’t charge it at home.

To diehard MAGA, Musk is the useful idiot. Trump did a token favor for Musk, knowing none of his base will ever buy an EV, and in exchange Musk keeps carrying Trump's water.

So not even a mediocre car salesman. Surprising.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

But he sure does love tesler!

I wish that was all he was concentrating on...
