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.

Taking "move fast and break things" literally. Can the cars actually self-drive outside of a perfect laboratory environment? I guess we'll find out because Elon Musk is the type of guy who tests in production.
Waymo(google) is already doing a full self driving taxi in San Francisco.
Edit: Well not quite full there is a support team of real humans that remote controls the cars when they get stuck because the car can't figure out a safe enough next move - mostly in parking lots.
As a fun bonus there was a small bug, the cars are programmed to give a honk when they see other cars driving towards them from the front or something and there's a parking lot where they all go during low activity times...but the waymo cars were just constantly honking at each other while trying to park. - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yvDuUCxvkO0
How long between when he announced the cyber truck and when it was actually available? And what about all the stuff he announced that still doesn't exist? Hyper loop, humanoid robots?
He's been ready to land people on Mars "in two years" since 2016
Maybe there's whole cities up there and nobody knows.
My understanding is that they haven't even completed any testing miles yet. This is going to be the equivalent of a concept car that you might see sometime in Musks rolling timeline.
