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.

You claimed I had pride in owning it. A vehicle purchased 6 years ago, when there were no real viable EV alternatives below $80k and well before the current extreme bullshit from Musk, and that I've clearly commented already with the opposite attitude.
It's not your first incorrect assumption I'm sure. But it's clear from your attitude in comments that you feel like you're superior to others and seem to have a black and white view of things when reality is anything but black and white. So go ahead and live in your little fantasy world, at least they know you there.
Fair enough, maybe I was wrong about you being proud to own one. But I wasn’t wrong about you owning one. And that ownership still means something, whether you like it or not.
The reality is: people have died because of Tesla’s design choices. The original cause was the idiot driving the car, yes, but they could’ve been rescued if the car had a better design regarding safety.
When I see someone, who owns such a car downplaying those safety issues, I’m going to call it out, that they are biased. Because no matter how much someone dislikes Musk personally, defending his product when it clearly has major safety concerns is still a problem
