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.

Alarming, and I’ve just watched a video about how to get out of mine in an emergency.

However, presumably this predicament could apply to many/most modern cars which rely on electrics/software more than ever, and isn’t particular to Teslas?

You should not have to watch a video or read a manual to open a freaking car door. The fuck are people supposed to do who don't even own the car?

Be confused as hell when the Uber driver doesn't speak English.

Or be me, someone who noticed the weird ass flat handles on the picture and googled how to open the door during the 11 minutes it took for the driver to arrive.

So you sit up front in an Uber?

[–] GreenAppleTree@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I do. It's quite normal in Australia. We don't live in a dystopian hellhole.

Pretty sure that your reply says more about who you are personally than about any characteristics of any locations, including Australia.

Moreover, many on Lemmy would say the fact that you have and use Uber means you are in a "dystopian hellhole."

Infer what you want, friend. We also sit up front in taxis, if that helps. Or my mate Dave's car when he picks us up.

You are Murdoch's home turf.

After he has destroyed the rest of the English speaking world he will turn on his native land as a coup de grace.

No? The back doors have the weird handles as well.
