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.

Brits, so polite, not setting things on fire.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah that's more of a french thing. Us Brits will continue to use tongue in cheek references rather than directly addressing the issue with force. We want a rebellion, just not an uncouth rebellion.

I'm British-Canadian and when I went back to London I told my British friends how much I'd like to strangle Musk or Trump to death with all the problems they're causing.

My friends were like: "you realized you just said take the life of another human being"

Your comment really reminded me of that lol.

I’ve thought about it, and I’d totally do it. I would have also killed Hitler if given the chance.

Support your local chavs and football hooligans.

Unironically probably the best way of seeing some action. Just a shame most are too busy eating whatever slop farage throws out.

Such a heart filled station.

I can appreciate the creativity behind this, but the idea of burning or damaging cars and dealerships is extreme. It's important to remember that such actions could result in serious legal consequences, including FBI involvement (in the us). Additionally, Tesla employs many Americans, so damaging dealerships not only harms property but also risks American jobs, while Elon Musk continues to profit.

As a proud son of San Bernardino I can say you are absolutely right, you'll get terrorism charges regardless here in the US go for an IED it's the same charge regardless. Also who gives a fuck if he employs people, GTFO with that "job creator" bullshit. If nobody wanted to work at Tesla because they may get caught in the crossfire then that's fucken good, if ya can't get a rope around that sub-human Afrikaner profligates neck then burning down his company is the next best thing.

I think you need to adjust your prompt a bit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Its not extreme enough. Tesla needs to fall.

[+] [email protected] -11 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

So you are for American's losing their jobs. When these scumbags burn down a dealership what happens to those people that were working there? They need to find new jobs to feed their families but thats ok right?

This is the most insidious line of reasoning that has prevailed our culture, fighting back against evil corporations is actually bad because the people whose labor they exploit will no longer be employed.

Look, that sucks, but can you not see that just allowing these corporations to continue unchecked is exactly what lead us to this situation in the first place? It's simply another way to sow division.

The obvious answer within the current system would be having robust government systems to assist with finding a new job and ensuring bills are paid in the interim but that's evil socialism.

I'd go even further and say the whole fucking concept is rotten to the core

Isn't the exploited labor of said employees empowering muskrat to be an evil billionaire? Wouldn't them working there be an implicit sign they are cool with what musk is doing? I don't think a single employee of Tesla doesn't know that Elon owns the company. Right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

Yes, because they shouldn't be working for Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

Extreme you say?
