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.

It's so frustrating that something anybody even only peripherally aware of attempts to automate driving knew for years is only slowly coming out while the Apartheid Edgelord gets richer and richer from his lethal lies.

As a coda: Tesla Drivers Upset That Government Wants Their Cars to Be Safer

“Got to love government always making things less enjoyable,” tweeted a disappointed customer on Wednesday.

Apparently driving on misplaced faith that kills people is enjoyable. Tesla is a cult, not a car company.

This was funny tho

Particularly peeved was a man who tweeted: “So now it will become more of a nag. Between it and my wife I almost can’t use it. I will be stepping up my nagging defeat efforts. Been using [Autopilot] since 2015. I don’t need more nagging!”

I do not feel sorry for him.

Damn. Dudes choosing Musk over his wife.

To be fair, his wife made him pay for WinRAR...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I paid for WinRAR. It's useful and does exactly what it purports to. Tesla's autopilot on the other hand...

But you could get 7zip for free

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can get WinRar for free also. You're missing the point

I think you're missing the point. Why would you pay for something (even when it's optional with a donation) when there is a better product that is free and open source and doesn't beg you to donate?

All the chucklefucks that think musk isn't just a dull normal are cultists.
