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.

What size business? A "CEO" of a company with 20 or so employees is a whole different thing to Musk.
This guy was in my family for a decade during his rice up the ladder. Company he worked when I knew him was over 200k employees. He was VP there but he's CEO at a different giant company now.
That's nice, but it's still only an anecdote and with your proximity to him leads to a bias. What I've learned about these people is that their real skill is being a smooth talker. I've dealt with business and political types and all the successful ones are smooth talkers. The root word for conman is Confidence, but that confidence doesn't have to have any backing to it.
Confidence also means they need to have it in you. If you make wrong decisions you won't be at the top for very long and your company will tank. Not defending CEO's. Just saying in my experience these people are a different breed and most people would crumble.
That's called psychopathy.
Yes definately. Most have been found to have toxoplasmosis as well which makes them take more risks.
