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.

MODERATORS
Tesla is only interested in screwing customers out of money and never dealing with them again. It's not a prestige vehicle, it's a defective piece of shit.
Obviously. Doesn't change that this is "normal"
What is not "normal" is that, like all of musk's companies, they manage to fuck up even the most trivial of PR wins.
Gallant would either buy the truck back (maybe minus a "restocking" fee) and use it for parts or replace enough parts they can call it "new" and re-sell it. Or they would coordinate with an influencer they trust to favor them and broker the deal
Goofus tells the cusomer to go fuck themselves and assume they will win on twitter.
It isn't normal. Toyota doesn't ban you from resale, Ferrari does. Tesla isn't comparable to Ferrari, and drawing that comparison only serves to normalize this lunacy. That's the point I was making about that. The stans will punish themselves, and I'll chuckle sensibly at it, but normal consumers getting duped into this kind of BS isn't acceptable.
