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.

They don’t teach you hardly fucking ANYTHING in college that’s helpful in terms of addressing the modern corporate profit über alles dynamic that most jobs have turned into. You just get thrown in the deep end with your diploma, and nobody tells you that the pool is actually part of a processing plant, and that the current is sweeping you along… somewhere. It might be to a nicer pool. It might be a separator machine that exploits all of your usefulness at an accelerated and unsustainable rate. It might be a waste outlet. It’s kinda impossible to tell when you’ve had zero fucking experience or instruction on “how companies ACTUALLY operate”, and how to effectively operate in that environment without walking face-first into spinning blades you didn’t even know existed.
