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.

Yeah, that whole "accept or pay" thing is pretty popular with German news publishers. I mean, I get that they have to make money in some way, and few people seem to be willing to pay for journalism.

I'll happily allow cookies for Notebookcheck, too. Their laptop reviews are exemplary.

There are no shelves

Anything about this truck that might possibly have had utility Musk didn't see as necessary. In a truck.

To be fair, the majority of truck owners in the US don't actually use their pickups for anything that would necessitate owning a truck in the first place, so the complete lack of shelves and the weird flatbed probably didn't stand out as immediate red flags.

Even a lot of workers could easily get by / make more use out of a smaller enclosed vehicle. They just go with the trucks because they like the aesthetic more.

At least you can peel a good carrot with the door panels. Great for vegetable loving rednecks to pose in.
