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.

Sounds like poor planning on the company and the owner's parts. People die in cars enough that you should know how to exit the vehicle manually if necessary. The manual option should be obvious and absolutely shouldn't be an after thought.

Also, lack of adequate regulation by NHTSA (although to be fair, nobody's been braindead enough to want to design a car this irresponsibly until now, so it's understandable they're playing catch-up).

I think musk's going to get Nader'd - https://youtu.be/LC9a3GR1HJY this thing is a nightmare for pedestrians and cyclists.
