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.

You're so close to getting it, and then you turn away from it at the last second.

So yes, you're bigoted. Very bigoted. Much like the people who were spouting off about "cheap Japanese goods" in the '70s and '80s were. And their related ones doing the same for Taiwan and Korea later. And now China.

Or, you know, the ones spouting off about "cheap German goods" before that.

Just because I'm bigoted does not mean that China does not have an established culture of manufacturing cheap trash that poor people want to buy.

Again, you're so close to the truth but your bigotry blinds you.

Which is hilarious, to me, coming from a person on a German server.

But hey, it's not as if Germany has a history of intense bigotry or anything.

Honestly, these comments say more about you than they do about me.

I'm Australian. I don't have any connection to Germany, I've never even been to Europe. Yet you're making assumptions about me because I joined a German server? Pot kettle black mate.

It's quite simply not possible for me to care any less about whether or not you think I'm bigoted.
