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.

Tesla’s Cybertruck, once touted as “the World’s Toughest Truck,” now seems to be gathering rust in inventories across major U.S. metropolitan areas.

A recent count reveals that within 25 miles of some of the top 25 most populous zip codes, a staggering 1,246 Cybertrucks remain in unsold inventory. The total count nationwide of Cybertrucks waiting on a buyer is likely much higher, as these 25 mile segments only account for about half of the US population.

If each Cybertruck sells at the minimum price of $79,990, that’s about $100 million worth of what Ask Car Guys voted overwhelmingly for the Worst Truck Ever Made.

Here’s the data!

You couldn't pay me to drive one of those shit boxes. My kid's baseball coach drives one n it's all tricked out to advertise his company. I low key wanna ask him if he's thinking about taking the ads off it, but I don't know him well enough, and I get the feeling he's one of those people, and if that's the case, I hope he loses business driving around with his company advertising essentially right next to a large swastica.

I won't say "you couldn't pay me to drive one", but only because I'm honest enough with myself to admit that there is absolutely an amount that someone could pay me to drive one around. The number is very far from reasonable though.

I'd take one for free. Bolting hundreds of dildos to it and driving around would be hilarious.

I guess for free I'd take it, but I'd have to put something in large enough to see print on all 4 sides, and maybe even the roof something like "I GOT THIS FOR FREE. FUCK ELON"

Nah, just attach a few sharpies to it and let people vandalize it.
