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 they just make a GUI interface using visual basic they can track the hacker's IP

"It's an older joke sir, but it checks out."

Also, one of my favorite quotes to bust out when someone starts talking out their ass about computers.

Further proof Musk is a rich idiot.

To be fair, I think it's really more specifically an indictment of his management skills. I doubt he said everything up himself, but a good manager knows how to attract actual experts, not just college flunkies

Lol, lmao even

I guess efficiency means unsecure resources. Setting up proper access is precious time that could be spent cutting other department's budgets /s

Ban it, it must be outlawed and ripped out of every gov system and fortune 500 company immediately.
