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.

Cybertrucks were never "banned" per se, just defacto illegal to drive on the road because they do not comply with vehicle safety standards. People have tried to import them, making token efforts to make them road legal based on requirements for one-off importations but they haven't succeeded.
There are videos that explain what they would need to be legal and basically it amounts to being completely redesigned. They don't have the correct light clusters front or back, they're too heavy to be privately driven and they are so unsafe for pedestrians that the entire outward appearance / frame would have to be changed.
