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.

Was that the reveal where he said the windows were indestructible, then proceeded to smash one on the first try?
Apparently he has a bad habit of telling the engineers to do things that are literally impossible, and then firing them when they can't do it. So they actually have a guy who's job it is to distract Elon Musk so he never talks to the engineers, because it's either that or keep hiring new ones.

You can taste the embarrassment in this photo.
He kept boasting that it was "bullet proof". Meanwhile I could easily imagine the engineers in the back really badly hoping he would shut up about that because they understood the gravity of the costs and compromises that would have been required to actually make this car bulletproof
Guess what, turns out it's not bullet proof after all. What a shocker.
Yeah, lol.
