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.

Did it provide any new info? We already knew the battery caught fire, because, the fire. And that's all the article really mentions.
The article also fails to give any context to put things into perspective, like good reporting should. Especially when it's not breaking news. It doesn't give any sort of context of how many car fires happen in general, or the number of drunk driving fatalities. It doesn't give any context at all, just creates a rage bait headline. Very successfully I might add.
Quite the contrary, because of the fascist running the company. But dipshits like you don't care.
You claimed I had pride in owning it. A vehicle purchased 6 years ago, when there were no real viable EV alternatives below $80k and well before the current extreme bullshit from Musk, and that I've clearly commented already with the opposite attitude.
It's not your first incorrect assumption I'm sure. But it's clear from your attitude in comments that you feel like you're superior to others and seem to have a black and white view of things when reality is anything but black and white. So go ahead and live in your little fantasy world, at least they know you there.
