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.

If one is to take abrahamic philosophy as metaphor, paradise is not a place, but rather a mindset and state of being. Hell too is such a mindset/condition. It puts Jesus' famous quote about it being easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to pass through the gates of heaven, in a rather stark light:
Wealth is meaningless if you must sacrifice what feeds your soul to achieve it, and money itself is poor fodder for the spirit.
I swear I'm not being pretentious by quoting Faust, but Mephistopheles was right. Where is Hell? 'Why, this is Hell. Nor am I out of it.'
