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.

Self-driving tech is widely distrusted by the public, and Tesla's huge Autopilot recall and Cruise's scandals don't seem to have helped.

If you're close enough to the car in front of you that them slowing down by 25kph causes you to almost hit them, you're too close for the speed you're traveling.

It doesn't matter if there's a clear reason for it or not, or if everyone else is breaking the law. You're responsible for maintaining a safe distance, not the person you're behind.

3 car lengths is not a sufficient distance for 125kph.

Easy Karen I don't need a driving lesson, I did not get into a fucking accident because I was paying attention to the road and traffic around me. Something the driver(s) of the Tesla was not doing because who the fuck slows down suddenly on a highway with no one in front of you?

Seriously take the hard sandpapery object out of your ass and calm down

Apparently you do, since you're blaming others for your mistakes.
