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.

I once saw two people get out of a cyber truck. They looked unhappy and mean and weren't talking to each other

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

That was probably the smartest thing they had done in some time.

I almost never see any car with a full family in, usually is just a person driving alone, sometimes there's 2.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But you have seen a car with a full family, or a group of 3+, right? Have you ever seen a c-truck with more than one person in it? I haven't. Of course this is all anecdotal, and the plural of anecdote isn't data.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

... but the plural of data is.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That would be the plural of datum, if we're going to be pedantic.

Of course, you don't need my permission.

I know a family that has one. Dad drives the kids to and from school and activities in it, and mom drives a Model S. We live in a fairly progressive area.

They aren't political, just affluent enough to be oblivious.

The best part about Cybertruck drivers is if you start to comment on their truck they will stop to hear the whole comment and then it will just stick with them for a while cause most of them bought the truck to show off and not because it addressed a unique need they have.

I always flip them off. Like, it's just a thing everyone I know does in our small town.

lost connection not sure the tesla driver saw my middle finger

[–] rxbudian@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Do a Hitler salute and see how they react, or do it with Elon's name.
And record their reaction... I want to see their expressions

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn’t that true of most trucks? Like one of my coworkers commuting into Boston in a RAM 1500? My brother commuting into DC in a Sierra EV? Neighbors up the street where one adult drives a suburban, the other a trailblazer xl?

Obviously there are trucks used as trucks, and it’s great for those people to have so many choices, so much capability, but y’all are a minority

[–] czardestructo@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I love seeing beaten up trucks, doing truck stuff. Why anyone would pay the money to commute in a harsh ride and terrible millage has always confounded me. Dont even get me started on Wranglers.

Aesthetics and over-compensation.

The primary drivers behind car sales to insecure & vulnerable young men. I speak from first-hand experience.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 18 points 2 weeks ago

I never notice who's driving a "cybertruck" bc I'm too busy cringing.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a couple of cyber trucks in my neighborhood, and one of them drops his kid off at my daughter's school in the morning.

Still drives a cyber truck though.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago

I can respect that guy's level of commitment to the 'embarrass your kids' game.

[–] alt_xa_23@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I once saw two people in a cybertruck, but I don't think I've seen more than that

[–] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

Only time I've seen a full cyber truck was at a ski resort parking lot.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

I saw a stretch Hummer today and thought "what if someone makes a stretch cybertruck?" and then I nearly threw up.

[–] totesmygoat@piefed.ca -5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wanted to start a rumor.

Did you know that after Elons botched penis surgery, they implanted a tap to collect his semon. It's why he keeps offering it to random women. But they have so much extra they are using it to condition all the steering wheels in Teslas.

So everyone driving a Tesla is just giving the worlds biggest dick a handjob.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That's... not how penises work.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's how Elon's cyberpenis works, or so I've heard people say.

Something something your mom or whatever.

Honestly, that was such an easy setup for a mom joke, I can't muster the enthusiasm to formulate it.
