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.
for those who don’t want to bother: out of 37 predictions, 2 were met, 4 were partially met, 3 haven’t happened yet, and 28 weren’t met
and the two that were met were about when the robotaxi and cybercab would be on sale and start production, respectively. they were both predicted very shortly before they were stated to happen (respectively literally the same month and 4 months after). lmao
plenty of other fraud predicted in the 3 month range filed.

Lying constantly is a big part of his business strategy. Keeps the investors happy.
He and Trump (and probably Sam Altman/other LLM CEOs) succeeded by just lying about every but because of their status people believe them and nobody seems to call them out.
I had to check. It's all there. https://grokipedia.com/page/List_of_predictions_and_commitments_by_Elon_Musk

Remember when his false promises were the only reason to hate him?
"Just 3 more years bro."
This decade's robotaxi stuff is very slow progress too. AFAIK, they still follow the robotaxis with a backup remote control driver. Few markets and few cars.
A while ago, they had “safety drivers” inside the robotaxis that could take over if the auto drive malfunctioned. Congrats Elon, you invented a taxi.
The man was claiming that a cyberpunk 2077 feature would work.
What was the plan for it to charge itself while driving cross country?
