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.

Fucking called her Xavier, I would change that even if I wasn't trans
wait till you hear about X Æ A-12
Using an Æ without being able to pronounce it is both offensive and hilarious to me as a Dænish person
What's the correct pronunciation in danish?
Æ
Nice try, Elon.
Isn't it "ah" like Ænema?
I saw it explained as x ash a 12... So ae is ash i guess
According to Wikipedia there are 4 pronunciations in Norwegian alone, none of which are "ash".
I initially thought it was pretty much like ä, but apparently that's only one of the possible pronunciations.
Poor kid... Xasha 12 was at least a bit off a name.
Based on their relationship post-Luigi, I'm pretty sure you pronounce X Æ A-12 as "Kevlar".
Now daddy is going to stand in front of an open window, so it's time for a piggyback ride little Kevlar!
Yeah it's certainly easier to pronounce than Xäa12 would be. But I mean if the muskmelon is just picking pronunciations he likes for letters, it can be absolutely anything. Maybe it's actually Shanty
He can't even pronounce Æ.
He probably thinks it’s pronounced like this:
That legitimately brightened my day a little, thank you. Made me smile
I'm in a German speaking place and I know someone named Xaver, which people here pronounce 'Ksah-fffer' (really strong f in the regional dialect). The English version is tame in comparison.
Thx, fixed
Idk it's a fine name imo. Sure if I hear a guy is named Xavier I assume black man, but it's a name of both a saint and a comic book hero.
