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.

"Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?" [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.

Well, for starters I don't want a car at all. I'd rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.

If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I'd never buy a Tesla. I'd buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

The best electric car currently is the Volkswagen ID.7. I agree with Musk. Buy it.

/previously Tesla Model 3, now the ID.7

The promised 10 mpkwh is exciting. Hopefully it actually begins mass production. Any year now…

Electric vehicles were made to save the auto industry not the environment. His shitty friends that own lithium mines are the highest benefactors.

On build quality alone, I just wouldn't buy anything manufactured in the US or China, full stop.

Say "I don't know what I'm talking about" without using those words.

The article appears to be from April.

What portion of potential buyers? I am, for example, no longer considering a Tesla because of Musk, but I doubt very many others are truly consciously avoiding them for ideological reasons ( pertaining to Musk )
