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.

A catering contract to celebrate Black Heritage Month turned into a tough lesson for a Black-owned bakery in the South Bay earlier this month.

Sounds an awful lot like detrimental reliance to me....

Sounds an awful lot like detrimental reliance to me…

Why is this getting downvoted?

Detrimental reliance is the legal principle that would allow the bakery to recover damages from Tesla. In summary: "You promised to pay me for this, and I acted accordingly, but you didn't follow through, so pay up."

Yes because god forbid someone have the audacity to believe a corporation will behave in a professional manner.

Look up the legal definition of detrimental reliance.

I mean yeah, I don't know why anyone would legitimately expect this
