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.

Grokipedia is designed for a target market of one person.

Indeed, “empirical” data doesn’t show sustained demand for the Cybertruck, but a sustained plunge down the toilet: Tesla sold just 5,385 Cybertrucks in the third quarter of 2025, which is a staggering 63 percent drop from the same period last year.

Let’s not forget buyers remorse. I have an extended family member who is an avowed Tesla fanboy and bought a Cybertruck when they first became available. He got rid of it after a year or so because of all the negative comments he was getting. He & his wife have two young kids, and from what I heard it sounds like they were all getting harassed at times…

He now drives a Rivian instead.

The section accuses “left-leaning outlets” like CBS News of unfairly emphasizing how the truck’s stainless steel exteriors quickly began to rust after being delivered to their owners

Ah yes anarchist/socialist darling CBS News.

I honestly find it hilarious that it took a rich idiot trying and failing to make a pickup truck out of uncoated stainless steel with the design language that a 4-year old could outdo to understand that it’s stainless - as in, stains not as much - not stainless - as in, impervious to stains.
