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.

They’re also about to pay 25% more for steel and aluminum.
Tarrifs will most probably not apply to him.
The tariff is not on the import though, it's on the export
No. If you are in the US and you import steel from abroad you pay 25% in taxes to the US government. The exporting party does not pay anything but risks losing their US clients.
Not sure how this works though for a Tesla factory in Germany for example that imports steel from the Netherlands.
But my point was Musk, who threw millions of dollars into Trumps campaign is probably exempt anyway.
Apart from that I understand US companies like European high grade steel alot so this is gonna hurt the US even more.
Tl;dr tariffs are bad for everyone.
