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.

Say "I have no idea what I'm talking about" without using those words. Chinese EVs are leading-edge stuff.
YSK that Amnesty International just released a report about human rights in the battery supply chain. BYD was dead last.

Besides, as a practical matter, BYD is simply not available in many markets.
I don't actually care about "many markets". I care about the market I'm in. Which, if I were actually in the market for a car at all, would be one where BYD and XPeng (and a cast of hundreds more) is a perfectly viable and available option.
This is why I said "if I were in the market" and "I'd buy an XPeng or a BYD".
If you're in a market where those aren't available, you buy a non-Tesla that's in your market. This is sort of how it works.
I have full confidence their reported numbers for emissions are lower than industry average.
