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.

People agree on a regulation for a product > you claim compliance to that regulation voluntarily and mark it on your product > consumers chose whether to buy a regulated or unregulated product
> You make an unregulated product that is much cheaper but has massive negative externalities or long-term risks that a regular person can't oversee > everyone buys your product > people start dying because of your product > people agree that the regulation is now mandatory and ban your product.
You can pretend that "in a free market" the citizens will refuse to buy bad products, stores will refuse to sell bad products and manufacturers will refuse to create bad products. But then why is it different when a democratic government refuses to allow bad products?
Mainly I don't want ONLY an elected government to be the final arbiter on that determination.
But believe me, under a capitalist system it's of course virtually impossible to have this kind of system.
