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.

Sell the car. Making payments on it while saying you don't endorse Musk feels a bit contradictory.
the car is already purchased. the debt is to the bank. not making payments is irrelevant.
Sell it TO WHOM?!
Fucking aquaman?
Part of why we're in this current mess is because too many people thought naively that the average person has room in their lives for ideology or that the average working american gives a shit about culture war when there's not enough time or money in the day to even take a breath, much less live a life.
They don't. The well isn't poisoned, it's dried out. If we put Tesla out of business tomorrow Elon will still be wealthy enough to buy nations and people's teslas will still be sitting in their garages slowly depreciating like every other consumer good.
I much, much, MUCH rather see someone put that time and energy that they would use to sell their car into getting involved in their local community organizing or county elections. Those are the systems that allowed people like Musk and Trump to seize power in America and those are also the ones that get ZERO media hype. Not a coincidence. Same distraction is happening in the "culture war" every day and we're all losing.
