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.

Excellent. I like when I can read a ketamine idea and just immediately think “cool, that’s a bad idea,” without even thinking it through.
Wait, fuck, ketamine autocorrected to ketamine.
The guy’s first name, the one with four letters. Ketamine. You know the guy.
Elmo.
If I can type that, why does ketamine autocorrect?
Whatever.
One of his new pay goals for that compensation package is a million humanoid robots delivered in one year. Selling them as a corrections solution at 1:1 anywhere in the US is an excellent way to do just that.
He wants to reinvent the ankle monitor, but with more steps and much higher cost?
Is this the same logic that leads to reinventing trains
In the Culture novels robots assigned to this task have super accelerated consciousness, beyond human cognitive capabilities and can basically harmlessly stop you with a force field if you do anything to attempt to harm another person. Can Elmo's bots do any of that? Not even close.
Elmo's robots are barely able to walk
I've seen student projects that were more impressive than his shit, let alone (for example) the (honestly scary) Boston Dynamics bots
But the next model will do all that! Just one more data center! Trust me, bro!
fwiw, data centres aren't a problem.
Techbros are the problem.
For example - water cooling has been used in data centres since the 70s, and more commonly in the last 15 years but always as a closed loop, the water just transports heat away to a heat exchanger then is cycled again.
Techbros - nah, we'll just let the water capture the heat then dump it into sewer, taking in fresh water constantly.
For now they can close an oven door in 5 minutes top, with a remote operator from Pakistan.
Astounding! Definitely worth a gazillion billions. The shareholders decision finally makes sense.
But what if there were special circumstances?
I think the plan is that the team of human handlers that control the robot will step in and stop a felon from breaching their conditions.
The robot is just theatre to help prop up Tesla’s share price.
Imagine giving the trillion to Hyundai (Boston Dynamics) to piss him off.
Lex Loser really needs to just shut up. If anyone should be in prison it's him.
His AI girlfriend thinks it's a great idea. She even worked out a business plan.
Today in news, the guy who sells robot hype wants government to buy into robot hype.
Yup. No one is going to buy his shitty robots, but he suckered the government into paying for his shitty Starship, so he figures he can get the government to buy his shitty robots too.
Shut up Elon your ideas really suck.
And set up call centres in low-wage countries where poor people can pilot the robots for pennies.
Or jail just enough people to have a prison labour force large enough to guard those not in jail.
SAY NO TO BILLIONAIRES
Nobody should be able to have more networth than, say, 20 million max.
This fucker is now supposed to become a trillionaire? This idiot?
So does this mean we can watch a live stream of Trump 24/7?
Yeah, I've got a better idea: Let's not.
Truly a trillion dollar idea.
When he revealed the "robot stalker" is was just a "Teslar" truck with lipstick on.
Elon Musk is a true degenerate (in the dictionary definition of the term, not as a generic insult).
Slap drones.

Wait, is this what Steven Miller is?
I'll personally give him 10 trillion Zimbabwe dollars to fuck off
