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.
Watch how Tesla goes bankrupt because of one CEO's idiocy and greed and then blame unions for it. Tale as old as time.
Just saying that proves you see it from the company's point of view. The flat signs should not be more important than the people working for it. Sorry, corporations aren't people. Make people's lives better, every time. You can't make a business happy, it's not a real entity.
Prioritize your workers (as in, be unionized) and your customers. Those are the only people involved. Stockholders and board members are just leeches. You're either producing the goods and service, or you're consuming it. Nobody else matters or should be considered.
CEOs making 4 or 5 extra digits than their front line workers are the absolute worst.
Any action taken against any union by the company should just get the company bankrupted and paid out to the employees tbh.
Anything less is just the business telling the workers to their face "we want you to make us way more money than you'll ever even hear about while we figure out ways to legally take everything we can. Their objective is typically to not spend any money on employee well-being unless it is actively costing them more to not do it.
Almost nobody is on any company's side at all (other than the owner). People want good working conditions and good living conditions. No one cares how happy the business feels.
