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.

That's what happens when you let people accumulate too much capital.
Capital = power
Should be a 100% wealth tax rate beyond a few hundred million. No individual should have billions of dollars in unelected, unaccountable power. And no one earns those kind of sums either.
Not like the truth matters though. Oligarchs like Musk own this fucking place and both parties have spent half a century dismantling any possible means of reigning in their power over our government, our media, and us.
but mah yacht
We've had one yacht sure, but what about second yacht?
You joke, but have you heard about yacht support vessels. Essentially a second yacht for the personell to live and sleep on, and stow all the toys like jetskis so you have room for a bowling alley and other essentials on the parent yacht. It is also faster than the yacht in question, so they can clean up if the yacht leaves and arrive ahead of the parent on the new location to setup already.

That's the most dystopian shit I've heard in a long time.
"Well, that's exactly the kind of whining I would expect of a peasant. You should have chosen your parents better."
Yeah we live in a world that has people dying of hunger while at the same time CEO's have yacht support vessels and private planes for LA to Seattle commutes.
