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 was at Queen's U doing engineering physics when he was there doing theoretical physics. We weren't the same year, but crossed paths a few times. At the time, struggling students would flip flop back and forth between the two degrees because the engineers needed more courses, but only need a 50% to pass a course while the science degree needed 60%. So some people would flip to take the shortest path to a degree. I don't know if Elon was like that, but he might have gone through most of the engineering program. From what I hear, working with him is hell as he has to be right and any challenge to an idea can easily get you fired. So everyone has to just go along with every shit thing he comes up with. The annoying thing is that he seems to get stuff done somehow - the advancements of EVs and low orbit satellite comms and reusable rockets can't be denied even though he is clearly deranged and a horrible person.
