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.

Gotta figure something like that would be covered under a lemon law, though sounds like dude is letting them go through the motions.

This was my first thought. It's not a warranty issue. You delivered a broken product. In the old days that was referred to as a lemon.

I don't have a problem with the buyer giving Tesla a chance to do the right thing, which they clearly refused to do, but at the same time, this isn't the end of this story.

Tesla has so many fanboys with their heads shoved so far up elons ass that they can taste what he's eating. Those fanboys, I'm sure, will say everything about how Tesla is right etc, but the legality of this has been long established.

Any lawyer worth their salt would advise Tesla to settle this by any means necessary, because going to the courts will very likely be much worse. The only way they could possibly "win" when it comes to court is to draw it out for long enough that the prosecution runs out of money.
