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.

While I think the cybertruck is stupid, you may not realize how much the SUVs, minivans, and trucks you likely see regularly on the road cost.

The low-end cybertruck model is often equivalent (or less than) some models of jeep Grand Cherokee, dodge charger, Chrysler Pacifica, chevy traverse, ford super duty, etc.

A lot of cars are crazy expensive. I know people that have cars that cost 70-80K, which is more than their yearly salary. It's insane.
