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.

He's on track to become the world's first trillion aire, he's access to the US President's inner circle and yet he's just a pitiful excuse of a person
This is going to sound ignorant/stupid, but how is he so rich?
Tesla isn't a huge car brand compared to the likes of Ford, Renault, Volkswagen, etc. They're big in the EV space, but we've been waiting over a decade for an affordable EV from Tesla and all we've got since then is just nonsense. Obviously he's been getting huge bumps from his position, but how has it only made him so rich? As an aside, how the fuck hasn't the rest of the Tesla board not sacked him yet?! His last contribution was the Cybertruck, and his next step is literally to suck ALL profit into a dividend payout for himself. What viable business does something this stupid?!
I just don't get how he's so rich. In a sane world, the Tesla board would kick him out and put someone more devoted to the brand in charge.
Well, we CAN stop him from becoming a trillionaire - we just need more Luigi's.
