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.

The manager told Raddon that his situation wouldn’t likely warrant an unforeseen circumstance that would trigger Tesla’s re-purchase of the truck, and reminded him that he signed a Tesla Vehicle Order Agreement which states if a Cybertruck owner sells the EV during the first year, they can be fined $50,000 and be banned from buying future Teslas. According to Business Insider:

This seems sketchy, but then again companies apparently just get to do what they want as long as they can afford enough lawyers.

Raddon told BI that he’s a rule-follower and he doesn’t plan to go against Tesla’s verdict on the matter or hire a lawyer to dispute the decision.

Hahaha!

omg that's so much worse than just being a Tesla cuck... That's like fighting to be Elon's Bottom Bitch... These people are insane.

Sounds like a flaw in the system that disproportionately favors the rich. Should probably do something about that.

From "Elon's Bottom Bitch" to "poor victim of the system" eh?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No, the fact they're not choosing to fight while having enough money to throw at Tesla makes them a Bottom Bitch.

The system making expensive lawsuits one of the only ways to restitution is the victim part. Please learn nuance before making smartass insults that don't even make sense.

I suppose I should expect this type of response from someone who is willing to victim-blame consumers because of the company they chose to purchase from.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh nonono, they aren't a victim for buying a cybertruck. The problems with Tesla and Musk have been obvious for years by now.

The fact you do not understand being a responsible purchaser when spending SIX FIGURES leads me to believe you're biased towards stupid decisions yourself. I'm sorry, but this person has made an unequivocally stupid purchase, and then doesn't want to fight getting fucked by the rich troll...

If you want to die on the hill of defending someone making repeatedly poor decisions, be my guest.

Two things can be true at the same time. You know that, right? Also, that’s a bit of a misrepresentation.

…and he might have alimony payments to worry about in the near future. Perhaps child support, too.

if a Cybertruck owner sells the EV during the first year, they can be fined $50,000

How is that even remotely enforceable?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

It may not be, but it worked on this guy though intimidation since he isn't going to contest it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In most jurisdictions such a clause would be downright illegal and thus completely void.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but he lives in Utah, so...

Good, you see what I tried to imply here.
