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.

Yep. Spitting facts like degenerative AI.

Hallucinated facts.

If you could actually dispute it without insulting the author then I would consider your input. But you can't, because the facts are correct.

I already outlined exactly why Starlink is not a viable business, but go ahead and pretend I didn't if that's what makes you get hard, Sweetums.

[–] cole@lemdro.id 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't see anywhere where you did actually. Even tried to find another comment on your profile. Would you mind linking that for me?

Thanks

Huh. Weird. It looks like two weeks' worth of comments (in a large number of groups) have vanished from my profile without being in the modlogs either.

I'm getting ready for work at the moment, so I'll dig into what happened when I hit work. The short version is that the only viable customer base is rural, and rural economics just can't support the prices that Starlink needs to operate at.

I'll point you to the numbers when I find them, or if I can't find them I'll recreate them.

Never mind. Found it: https://ttrpg.network/post/19127696/14306572

Weird that this isn't showing in my profile.

Yeah that's super weird. Maybe some weird federation behavior. I'll probably reply to that comment sometime tomorrow
