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.

A cover would probably be worse. It'd trap moisture and other things against the metal and it'd probably make the issue even worse. It needs an enamel coating or something, but that'd make far too much sense. Alternatively, since it's bare metal, you could remove any rust that occurs pretty easily, but it wouldn't look as smooth anymore. They could also possibly cheaply manufacture and sell replacement parts, since it should be (assuming they didn't do things too dumb, which is a stretch) fairly easy to fabricate.
