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.

He didn't design, engineer, or build those. You give him too much credit. His input likely amounted to "make it cheaper and raise the price"
Arguably he made Tesla's autopilot shittier by removing LIDAR because it was too expensive.
I'm speculating but it seems plausible to also make decisions like start selling the cars even though the engineers are saying they are not ready yet.
I'd also say irrespective of whether or not he designed, built or engineered any of the cars he is still accountable for what happens with those cars.
The person on top is accountable for it all. It may not be his fault someone could be sloppy in their work and he is still accountable for it.
The managers who let things slide, the CEO is accountable. If these managers hired people not up to the task, the manager is responsible & accountable for those staff and the CEO is responsible and accountable for anything the managers & staff do.
If I as a CEO had an accountant not paying the right taxes, the accountant may be at fault and lose his job but it's still my responsibility and accountability those taxes are paid.
There is no world where CEO isn't accountable for the actions of the company. (In theory...)
Unfortunately we live in a world where the CEO's often have no consequences for the actions of their companies and the existing laws and structures to hold them to account are insufficient.
He's the one who sets company culture as CEO, so the "move fast and break things" that got that lady stuck in her car while she drowned is his fault, and it will get a whole lot more killed when they actually enable that autopilot of theirs on the cars.
ignore QC, thats why some of his regular tesla have problems.
