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.

The success is down to the team, not the rocket scientist alone. Guess who gathered, motivated and paid the team?
One doesn’t create several companies that are leader in the energy transition if they do not care about energy transition.
I understand all the hate Elon Musk is getting currently but pretending he did not lead several companies to great success is just bizarre.
A minute ago you were saying that Elon personally flew astronauts back from the ISS. Now it's all about the team.
Not arguing about this part.
One doesn't try to get to Mars if one cares about Earth. Tesla is not environmentally optimised. Green Elon was just marketing.

Lead is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Funded is a better verb. No other CEO has time to lead and tweet 70x a day.
No, I didn’t say Elon personally flew astronauts back from the ISS, you are being pedantic because you know the bigger picture contradicts your narrative.
I’ve given you enough elements, you’re free to keep thinking Tesla didn’t massively contribute to the energy transition if you want.
You: Are you bringing back stranded astronauts from the ISS?
Me: Is Elon?
You: Yes
Elon is through is company.
If I own apple shares, am I producing Iphones. No.
Elon is at the White House destoying the government apparatus and tweeting about it. He has absolutely no involvement in rescuing astronauts.
If you’re the CEO of Apple you make a decision or two about iPhone production.
The CEO does not build the iphones.
Elon did not rescue the astronauts.
