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.

Good point, owning it as a side vehicle like an old tractor makes more sense.

My gripe with pickup trucks is more when they appear in traffic, in parking lots sticking out at every corner, in too narrow streets, around children who they can't see cause they have their eyes 5 yards in the sky and a bonnet obstructing everything apart from the horizon, having a fuel economy and co2 emittance of a lorry without the contribution to our essential goods infrastructure.

Thanks Obama and the EPA. Bring back baby pickups!
