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.

Evolving situation Being treated as act of terror https://www.ktnv.com/news/cybertruck-explosion-outside-las-vegas-trump-hotel-treated-as-possible-act-of-terror
The truck was rented from the same company as the truck that killed people in New Orleans, according to this article. Wild shit, man. 9/11 part deux?
"The explosives inside the Cybertruck were described as fireworks, gas tanks and gaming fuel, which authorities believe were connected to a detonation system controlled by the driver".
What's "gaming fuel"?
Seems related to camping fuel. Maybe gaming as hunting/fishing?
spoiler
For real though, no idea. Probably an autocorrect replacement from something spelled REALLY wrong.
Mountain Dew!
There's like 3 total rental companies, where else are they supposed to get it
What are you talking about? There's Enterprise... and like two other ones.
Hertz, Avis.
Just an ad break to thank the sponsors
probably a typo or auto-correct mistake for "camping fuel", which I've seen mentioned in other sources
the fortnite juice
Mountain Dew obviously.
He kinda has to jump in. As loud as his mouth is, and holding hands with Trump, it would be really weird if he shut the fuck up.
