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.

MODERATORS
You're moving the goalposts on the conversation then. If I read the article properly, the "defects" comment in the suit was related to the crash, and not the fire, where the deceased driver and the surviving passenger both had Blood Alcohol Levels way above the legal limit. That wasn't related to the fire.
Are you conceding on your original point and agreeing that BEVs are far far less likely to catch on fire than cars with an ICE engine and gas tank?
I never made such a point, so I have nothing to concede.
"I keep being told we shouldn’t talk about Teslas catching fire because it’s not a big problem and also other cars catch fire." -FlyingSquid link
Care to explain what you meant by your opening post then?
I am not sure how to make what I said more clear. But I think you’ve proven my point.
How wonderfully evasive of you!
Should you ever want to change careers, you have a strong talent for doublespeak and propaganda. Pick up some Russian or Mandarin language skills, update your Linkedin, and you'll be well on your way to a new career!
Now with my own snark aside, I need to say this. You're not an idiot. I know this. I've read many posts of yours where you accurately and passionately defend your position, even extending your the language of your arguments to make yourself understood by your audience. This current thread is out of character for you, and from what I've seen elsewhere, you're better than this.
I'm going to chalk this one up to you having a bad day and end the conversation here. I hope your day gets better, friend.
As long as it's pretty clear to you, that must be it.
And as I told someone else on another thread, there's no such thing as a good day.
By the way, I don't remember claiming victory. You'll have to point out when I did that and what I claimed victory over since I can't remember the last time I had a victory in my life and, while it likely won't brighten my day since that's not a thing that happens, you never know.
You're alive and breathing. I'm glad you're here. Your loved ones and family care deeply for you. Apart from all other challenges in life, that's a good day.
