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.

He doesn't want to understand it. He wants to break through it and some sleazy and/or desperate engineers are telling him everything he wants to hear. They understand that it's impossible but they also understand that if they don't cater to his fragile ego they'll be looking for a new job and no job will ever pay more.
Elon legitimately believes that nothing is impossible because his entire life he's been able to pay other people to fix his problems for him and he can't handle the idea that he's not the most special important smartest boy.
Unfortunately for him, ambition is all well and good but we obey the laws of physics in this universe.
The funny thing is I'm pretty sure he could have achieved a lot more with the space stuff if he wasn't so deadset on grandstanding and picking up irrelevant bullshit.
Exactly, he actually kind of was heading in the right direction but when you end up mentally stuck at age 12 it will never be enouh.
