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.

The cars shouldn't have ever even been built in the first place then.

Perhaps, but they were in fact built, and destroying them will likely result in more cars being built.

If these drivers cared about the environment, they wouldn't be driving cars anyway.

Perhaps, but judging the motives of the drivers has zero relevance to anything I said.

Anyways, the whole "You can't live within the rules of the existing system and try to change it without being a hypocrite" edgelord schtick is dumb.

Electric cars make sure effective transportation remains a luxury only for those who can afford one.

That's news to me. I have been saving a ton of money by driving used electrics. The savings on gas and maintenance more than make up for the extra up front costs. You are parroting common knowledge that's dead wrong. Teslas are luxury vehicles, and that's what makes them more expensive.

You obviously can't engage in good faith.

Perhaps you should sell your nazi car. Then people won't think you're a nazi

You are insufferable. Are you just rage-baiting people with your terrible takes on purpose?

Did I say I drive a Tesla? No, I don't believe I did. Nice try though.
