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.

I don’t care whether we’re talking about Musk or anyone else - any bank that lends money while taking into account the “personal guarantee” of the borrower has only themselves to blame for any losses.
OF COURSE a potential borrower is going to make lending sound like a good idea. The borrower is as biased and impartial as possible. If anything, these banks deserve to get bit in the ass for being blinded by greed. Maybe the people who approved the loans shouldn’t have that authority.
Considering Elon Musk is a known pathological liar, you'd have to be extremely stupid to trust anything he says.
