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.

Where I live you could buy a very decent RV for the equivalent of $100k. Hell even the $60k variant gets you quite a bit.

I'd much rather have that and be able to work "from home" from the south of Spain rather than drive a geometric shape.

I have spent less than that on my flat, and just about that on an older house.

car prices are insane.

Cars have become expensive, sure. But what I find crazy is people are so happy to take out huge loans on it.

You can buy a really nice and comfortable car for under €10k around here. Yet so many people have a car worth 2/3 of their gross annual income.

absolutely, I have a used car myself,I will probably never buy new.

People also way overspend on cars then complain that they don't have money
