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 car that we bought 6 months ago replaced the entire middle console with one giant screen. All controls, including the AC, are on this touchscreen.
Although we have been enjoying this car, I have serious concerns about the increasing computerization of vehicles. Our car can remote start through the app from anywhere in the world. While a nice feature, it's not inconceivable for hackers,government agencies or even the company itself to brick our vehicle. Or one bad software update could render the vehicle completely inoperable.
Yes, I hope that at least some manufacturers will create analog cars in the future.
I hope that this becomes an option for more consumer goods as time goes on. Someone could make a killing by just creating usable products that don't treat their buyers as a product themselves.
