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.

Is that thing road legal in the US?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

It's Texas, so probably.

This is the dumbest thing k On the roads. This generated truck looks way better

Ridiculous car with horns parked at a strip mall? Has to be Texas.

E: yep, checked the area code on the sign in the background. Houston.

"...don't be Texas...don't be Texas..."

713 area code

"...I hate Houston so fuuuucking much."

Things like this is why America fascinates me.

Here's another example of a fascinating "only in America" car mod I found in LA

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, you find those in Mexico as well.

Question is though: how the fuck is this street legal? Any accident that this car will be involved in will have more and ornheavier casualties because of those mods.

I don't want to be hit by a car, but I definitely don't want to be hit by this street legal meat shredder.

I even less want to be hit by this "don't budge a bit for no good reason" Tesla monster truck thing

I don't know how you people find the courage to leave your basement

Yeah, can you imagine? People actually wanting not to die needlessly because you have the need to show you really don't have a tiny penis...

Up until quite recently people had an actual interest in car safety. Musk throws all that out of the window and when people say it's shit (it is) dummies like you think it's a weird scared internet nerd thing or something.

Here is some news for you: people die in car crashes.

Gosh, really?

Yeah, they do! They also die a lot more in the US where regulations are for pussies and big boys with definitely not tiny penises can show how big their penis really is! USA! USA!

So yeah, designing cars to be safe is a thing. Wanting cars to be safe is not weird, it doesn't make me a hermit, it makes me quite a normal human being. You, on the other hand, should really read up on car safety, you dummie.

Oh look, it thinks horns on the hood are the dangerous part, and is trying to pretend that's clever.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh look, it doesn't understand that the entire car is deadly and it's succeeding in being dumb.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

You've managed to build a very wordy rebuttal against roughly 30 statements not even made, while jerking yourself off over how clever you are. I think I know why you can't leave your basement. Your last reply there doesn't even make contextual sense.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh look, it pretends it can count and understand expensive words like "re-but-tal"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

You think that's a 5 dollar word? Sad

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I used to live in L.A. I didn't modify my car, but I did glue a bunch of magnets to the feet of plastic dinosaurs and stick them on my car's roof. Some jerk stole them while I was at UCLA doing a video shoot.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Haha awesome. Im surprised they didn't come flying off on the highway

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Nope. Stuck fast. A few people honked and gave me the thumbs up when they drove by though.

Is that the front or the back?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Judging by the mirror's position I'd say front, but that's just a guess.

And that's what the "finish" looks like AFTER a fresh car wash.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

never say never
