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.

How about this. If you're attempting to "argue in good faith", then try researching something before you write it down. That's probably a good start in "good faith" debate, right? You want to make statements, without researching them, and then get bent out of shape when I call you out on it and say I'm not arguing in good faith.

No I just want to have an argument without constant insults and language from a 5 year old. Grow up dude.

YOU BROUGHT UP RUSSIAN CAPSULES. You tell me. Holy hell.

You brought up capsules at all, lol. Are you drunk or something 😂

Tell me, do you think Hyper Loop was an original idea or do you think it was a carbon copy of a previously debunked idiotic idea? If Hype Loop was a BS copy of an extremely old idea resurrected by con men every so often, why wouldn't Falcon be? I mean, after all, the name Falcon is awfully close the DARPA's FALCON project, which started just a few years before Elon started hiring people for SpaceX. Everything the guy does is a cheap knock off of something someone else has already done.

I don't care about the hyper loop. I really don't care about old DARPA projects. The interesting part about the Falcon 9 is that it actually exists and does its job extremely well.

You haven't provided me with anything that actually matters, all you have done is whine at Musk. Like who cares if it's somewhat reusable rockets existed before the Falcon 9. The Falcon 9 objectively made it much more efficient and has done a lot of improvements that no one has done before.

I don't like Musk either, but I don't have to deny reality just because I have a hate boner.

I'm pretty convinced by your lack of looking up the actual NASA documentation, which is freely available, and your hypocritical call for "good faith" argument, that you're an un-serious person here just to support your favorite fraudster billionaire.

I don’t like Musk either,

An obvious lie, since there's no other way to explain your complete refusal to go look up a basic fact instead of repeating marketing nonsense.

So, at this point I'm back to you being a liar since you have to intentionally choose not to know what you're talking about and instead base your position on vibes. I'm uninterested in your opinion, you've demonstrated your inability to use facts, so we're pretty well done here.
