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.

I agree, the "loop" is asinine and a complete waste of resources. But I cannot support an author that deliberately misrepresents facts, particularly when there is no need to do so.
The Las Vegas metro area population is ~2.4 million people. So the author misrepresents population this "serves" by roughly a factor of four. And the 110,000 visitors also is a significant underestimate - the metro area has over 150k hotel rooms, they tend to have at least 90% occupied throughout the year - and with friends and family often splitting rooms, it's not uncommon to have upward of a million 'guests' in town at a time (New Year's, Super Bowl, BTS visiting, Etc.)
Author lost all credibility with me with this pointless obfuscation of the truth that was effectively irrelevant from the problem with the loop anyway.
