Enough Musk Spam

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.

Can they really be called spaceships if they never get to space?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I call them improvised explosive devices.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

They get to space, they just don’t stay in space. Like every vehicle meant to be crewed by humans.

Cybertrucks are spaceships, because they take up space.

[–] WhyJiffie 2 points 5 days ago

ok, but even a slight rain destroys them, they can't be ships

Even worse - he named his space vessels 'Starship' - implying that they have the ability to travel between stars.

They will study this man's narcissism in future history classes alongside Trump. The era of the ego.

I can't find the article now, but there was a news article that talked about "interstellar missions to mars", and it drove me nuts

People going to space are called astronauts - in this context I see no problem with Starship.

Is cosmonaut filled with as much hubris?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Depends on interpretation. Cosmos is Greek for the universe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

You're right. I think it could be interpreted as space as well, a kind of universe sensu stricto, excluding our little round home.

technically, travelling on earth (or anywhere else in the universe), is travelling between stars, because we're likely to be between 2.

He's such a whiny bitch.

You can have any color you want as long as it is black.

[–] clay_pidgin 4 points 6 days ago

Stainless steel?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I can't believe im saying this but even Ford was accidentally a better person than Musk.
