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.

The El Camino is such an awesome car.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Can I introduce you to the much cooler named Dodge Rampage?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Definitely a better name than Plymouth Scamp.

MY TRUCK HAS THE POWER OF A RAMPAGING RHINO vs. Oh, truck! You scamp! I can't stay mad at you for having a faulty transmission!

Edit: That link led me to a page about the VW SEAT Inca. Look at this thing.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's a common sort of van in Europe. Another example is the OG fiat fiorino

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Man, America has all the boring cars. And the one time someone does something different, we end up with the fucking Cybertruck.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Excuse me, but we did have the El Camino and Dodge Rampage. We also have the Jeep Wrangler.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Pff. I'll take a Fiat Fiorino over all of those. That thing looks awesome.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

It reminds me of this:

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I used to want a Jeep Wrangler. Then I sat in one. With the seat back as far as it could go, my knees were still jamming into the steering wheel.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are you like 7' tall or something?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Almost; 6 and a half.

Need the bigger wrangler. Forgot the model name. The Yukon? E: yeah the Yukon.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

VW Seat Inca? Course it is

Also a coffin inca judging by the shape of it.

[–] Shotgun_Alice@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Amateurs

For real though, I would in un-ironically own any of these but the cyber truck can go ahead and fuck off.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I was expecting that to link to a Subaru Brat tbh the Ranchero feels a lot more normie than the Rampage. I agree though. I wish Utes never left the US market

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I love the Brat seats in the back bed, with handles on ‘em, like “Good luck!”

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Subaru made the Baja too, which was like a sleeker Brat.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

It would make a great EV. So much room under the truck bed for batteries.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Always fast, never slow El Camino

[–] emmeram@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I thought Inc-El was a play on inconel and that this meme was about how extremely cool the Cybertruck is.

I was confused.

Then I thought about it.

[–] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I honestly thought the same thing, which would be extremely cool. But, could you even imagine how much an inconel clad cybertruck would be?

Yes indeed. The only zombie TV show I've liked.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Until it went completely off the rails

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Nonsense. The more it went off the rails, the better it got.

Radioactive zombies? Super potent weed grown out of zombie heads? Giant zombie ball? Killing a horde of zombies with a massive wheel of cheese? I loved it all.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Part of me wonders if the goofy, incomprehensible, hard-right pundit persona Musk has embodied over the past few years is just a character concocted to self trucks to Rednecks.

Then I remember he's a moron.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Now I am question whether incel is pronounced [inkel] or [insel] like I previously thought.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

No, it's pronounced like gif

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 1 points 4 months ago

I watched the original video a few years ago. I had forgotten how cool Truckla is, and how likable Simone is.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

There was one behind me on the way to dropping my kid off this morning. I hate them. It was like that Kurt Russel grindhouse shit. Worse than having a semi on your bumper. Listening to reggae, cracking jokes and giggling, telling me about Pokemon and shit, having a great morning together.. then there's this electric murder truck haunting us.

I can't not think of the reports about them not crumpling and just slaughtering anyone in their wake- is that true or disinfo?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 months ago

This started my day with a good chuckle. Thanks!

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 3 points 4 months ago

I finally saw a Cybertruck on the road today. I didn’t know whether to feel sorry for the driver because he’d been scammed, or just laugh at him.

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Somebody listens to MBMBAM
