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.

I have a favourite letter. It was one of my resignation letters. Paraphrasing what it said at its core "I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed working here and that I would miss the wise and intelligent guidance I received while employed here. Unfortunately my mother raised me not to lie, so I won't."

I still love that letter.

Of course it contained a great deal more content than "X". (I mean seriously, he couldn't even add "O" to the mix?)

Nice!

At breaking free of my last job after way too many years I used:

"To whom it may concern, I'm writing this letter to inform you that your employment services will no longer be required. . . However feel free to reach out for my consultant rates..."

I then quoted Maya Angelou: "I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better." (HR person said she liked this quote. I think my usage of it whooshed over LOL)

And pretty sure I sealed the deal with "So long and thanks for all the fish!"

(It was a library lmao)

But "X"? That's stupid. Unless there's buried treasure under it.
