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.

Tldr

I'm literally just stating a fact that Tesla owners will be targeted because of their car, and there isn't an excuse after 15 years for why someone wouldn't dump their toxic car if they were legitimately concerned about being targeted.

The excuse is that that's a horrible financial decision for literally exactly zero benefit at a time where it's getting harder and harder to survive?????

I will never understand the insistence that is is good and right and justified to target people for random shit. Like making a bad purchase warrants being bullied or getting your shit vandalised.

I cannot fathom the system of priorities you seem to opperate under. Where performative gestures that cost you huge sums of money and don't accomplish anything are some kind of twisted social obligation because you bought a car from someone who turned out to suck more than anyone realized. And if you don't make that objectively bad life choice then you had it coming.

Thats fucking unhinged. Who does that help??? Go outside. Talk to your neighbors. Ground yourself in meaningful connections with other people. We wanna build socialism but have created a culture that seems to celebrate being emotionally incapable of building social bonds of any kind with anyone who isn't a mirror image of our every choice and priority. Shit makes me sad.

Again, this isn't random, the people who dislike Tesla have very specific reasons, pretending like you don't understand is getting tiring to hear.

You don't get to make bad decisions and have everyone coddle you for it..

I won't enable you here no matter how hard you whine.

Americans get so fucking touchy about a fucking car.

Grow up and learn to engage with reality instead of defaulting to clutching pearls and pretending like I'm just a meanie head

A billionaire who you bought a car from just attempted to overthrow the country.

Yes, and lots of peope who bought said car justifiably had no idea he was a fascist.
