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.

Musk is a shitty businessman and an even shittier person. But those valuations are all nonsense and mostly based on potential growth,

Did you read the article? They estimated the valuation by their ad revenue, comparing before and after the take over. It's still a shitty valuation, but it's not like there's a lot else to go by.

not current fundamentals.

What do you mean by current fundamentals? It's a private service provider, there's not enough source material to evaluate for a fundamental analysis.

When interest rates go up, investment dries up and estimations of potential growth plummets

Right, but that's static across the market. You wouldn't have a situation where interest rates would drive the valuation of a single service provider compared to others in the same market.

Bold of you to assume I can read. I skimmed it like a hovercraft cuz I was trying to finish a poop, and I apparently missed the most obvious and main part of the story. A lot of people still upvoted my dumb ass though. ¯\(ツ)
