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.

The whole flight was a shitshow.

  • The booster exploded at the beginning of the landing burn (forgivable, they were intentionally trying an aggressive re-entry profile).
  • The door to release the payload simulator didn’t open. Again. They have had years to fix this after the last time the door got stuck.
  • The vehicle was on fire. Again. Clearly they can’t keep the fuel from leaking.
  • The attitude control was broken. Again. They can’t keep their vehicle pointed in the right direction.

WTF they doing over there? Every single one of these problems has already happened before, multiple times.

But credit where credit is due, Starlink worked brilliantly through the whole flight. We got to see the vehicle melt in realtime.

It would be hilarious for a story to come out about sabotage from within

Well... not to be a gossip, but I hear there is some K holed jerk in upper management who is a consistent fuck up. I'm willing to bet most of SpaceX's failures flow from him.

please, don't give him any excuses to play victim, not being adored for being a nazi is already oppressive enough to him 🥲

Would that help or hurt the stock price? Asking for a shortselling friend

they aren't public traded, there is no stock price

Yes there is. DXYZ.

That's the stock for a management company that owns a portfolio of private stocks. Not exactly comparable, IMO.
