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.

Okay, I get that it's fun to shit on Tesla and what not, but the Model Y is the top 4th selling consumer vehicle in the US lol. Also, Steve Jobs was holding on by an absolute prayer prior to the explosion of the iPhone. Apple was an absolute joke in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Yes because if you look at models Tesla has like 3 while the other brands have hundreds, look by brand instead and you will see that Tesla is 14th.

I guess if you want to add the qualifier of "best selling brand", that's fair. Nowhere did you say this was the case, however.
