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.

Might have something to do with Elon spending all his time jerking off at twitter

Or being a right-wing useful idiot nutjob.

It boils down to this: will the board kick out Elmo or will they watch the whole thing crumble into recievership.

I’m betting recievership.

The board is a bunch of stooges. They all need to go to jail in all fairness.

The problem is Tesla is a meme stock that pretends it's a real company.

If you kick out musk and try to turn it into a normal car company with normal stock prices which depends on how many cars are sold, that would look like a complete wipe out.

Leave musk in charge and it will crate as well. The best thing the board can do is keep musk as nominally in charge, but keep him juiced up to the eyeballs on Ketamin and distract him with twitter. It's not worked yet, but it might stop him from designing more cyber cars.

He didn't spend all of his time jerking off at Twitter.

He spent some of it designing the stupidest commercial vehicle ever released.

The Cybertruck was never aimed at the commercial market.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Commercial as in sold commercially, not as in used by businesses. i.e. not a specialized vehicle.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What market was it aimed at?

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

It's a lifestyle vehicle more than anything, so aimed at people towing, carrying sporting gear etc. Too expensive to be a trade vehicle.

Stock barely slipped on this news. Wall Street is fucking crazy for tsla. No matter what happens they never sell.

Why? The company has been floundering. the product isn’t innovative. There is no promise of future growth. The gravy years are passed. What the fuck are you waiting for?? Take your earnings before it’s too late.
