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.

If a successful exit is the play, surely there's no better reason to push an external candidate to take over? It's an immediate exit at a high price, or an opportunity to offload stock on a positive note instead. This assumes someone comes in with the sole intention of selling to a company like Ford.

While I don't disagree about Tesla's valuation, people have been saying this for years and years now. When will it be true?

This is impossible unless Tesla's stock crashes to reality back from fairy land. It's the average upper class gambler who is over valuing it, not other companies keenly aware that developing their own electric cars is much cheaper.
