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.

Technically he is founder of Tesla though. He just didn't found it.
For some reason, in the US you can buy the title of "founder of X". He just bought if from the actual founders.
I mean, he found out that there was a company called Tesla and then became CEO…
That would make him the finder of Tesla. And to be honest, that's all anyone should refer to him as.
He discovered it! That puts him on a level with Columbus!
You mean in the way that Columbus of course did not "discover" America (people had been living there for (tens of?) thousands of years, he was just the first white dude who started murdering the people living there)?
Of course! And part of my joke is that being on the same level as Columbus isn't really a compliment, considering what an asshole Columbus was.
Yeah. The Wiki offers the more sane answer.
