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.

I'd say Western civilization died when people started being worth more than they could ever possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes.
I wonder what Elon would know about such things...
To live your life sure, but it'd actually pretty easy to spend it if you wanted to spend it.
You could easily dump a couple hundred billion into fusion research for example.
If it worked well you'd probably become a trillionaire, but no guarantes there.
That's not the kinda stuff that should be dictated by individual people just because they are rich, but by a democracy and/or a team of experts.
There are wealthy people in every civilization though?
Every civilization is not Western civilization.
