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.

So Tesla is doubling down on the Nazi guy
"Tesla Employees Against Musk. There's no you in TEAM!"
Firing employees who organize a public campaign to discredit the CEO is generally the correct thing to do.

I’ll just leave this here:
Silence criticism!
I forgot that as employees, whose livelihood depends on the company they work for, shouldn't speak up while the company is tanking.
Employees shouldn't make public announcements (in their capacity as employees) unless authorized to do so by management. The official policy at my last job was that we weren't to say anything unless explicitly instructed otherwise by marketing. The places I've worked at that didn't have an official policy would have expected the same thing from me, just because it's common sense.
As an employee, you can speak about your own specific working conditions with your manager. You can, through private channels, contact upper management about the company's general strategy but that seems like a silly thing to do unless you know something that management doesn't. (And Tesla's upper management is well aware of what people think of Musk.) You definitely can't try to organize public pressure against upper management's decisions while you're being paid to obey those decisions.
This is why corporations have so much power over employees. It's also why corps get away with so much shit. Make the employee scared to speak out about the awful decisions made. We as employees shouldn't be afraid to speak out. If the company refuses to listen to your concerns, public pressure is what changes things.
Your response sounds exactly like a prerecorded corporate HR reply.
Shooting the messenger is a time-honored tradition
It would be shooting the messenger if they were expressing their concerns privately through internal channels but that's not what they're doing. They're going to the public because management already knows what they want and chooses not to act on it.

gagging on that boot until your mascara runs.
ITT totally insane people.
Dude chooses to work for musk (unless it was at gunpoint), yells crap about their employer, and people thinks is unfair for him to get fired?
Fucking retards.
While it's an expected result given the environment, it's still a good example for some.
