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’s German factory, which produces electric cars and batteries, has for months been the target of protests by climate activists, who call the company’s green credentials a sham.

“Companies like Tesla are there to save the car industry, they're not there to save the climate,” Esther Kamm, spokesperson for Turn Off the Tap on Tesla (known by its German initialism TDHA) told WIRED last week.

Ok, I make this comment in complete good faith as an urban cyclist from NA who desperately hates the modern car industry...

Why not storm the VW plant or an ICE car manufacturer? Going after car manufacturers is kinda based, but from what I can tell the main problem with Teslas is build quality and the scam of FSD, not anything particularly environmental. Is it because they sell their carbon credits to other auto manufacturers, bypassing the point of them? Or is it because they're cars and encourage unsustainable growth patterns inherently?

Wouldn't shuttering an ICE factory be better than shuttering an EV factory, even if neither are good?

For protesters like this "being angry and lashing out" is the goal, not affecting change.
