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.

A sudden, sharp decline is also called a 'falling knife', particularly due to how it looks in a box plot, somewhat resembling a bloody dagger.

So... when the market in general tries to 'catch' a 'falling knife'... this produces a 'dead cat bounce' if the market at least temporarily makes the price actually rebound a bit.

So... to ... mix terminology... I guess you catch a falling knife by bouncing a cat off the floor, which goes upward, catches the knife, kills the cat, and then the dead cat with the knife in it collapses through the broken floor.

Hooray daytrader terminology.
