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.

The successful implementation of cap-and-trade was on Sulfur Dioxide emissions, and YES EMISSIONS WENT DOWN MEETING TARGETS.
The proposal to use cap-and-trade for GHG was shot down by people like you in 2010 that said it wouldn't work, so it was never implemented like it was for Sulfur Dioxide. So GHG continued to rise without the cap-and-trade mechanism to reduce them.
Oh, I'm not optimistic. We had something that worked, and it wasn't implemented for GHG because of pessimism like yours.
SO₂ is not the same functionally in the economies as CO₂, just like the ozone destroying gases aren't teh same functionally in the economies as CO₂.
You are breathing optimism like oxygen in an oxygen poor environment.
What are you meaning with these words? Are you referring to chemistry, business, or something else. It isn't clear so I don't know what you're trying to communicate.
It means that you are comparing apples to orange trees. You do not understand what the challenges are and what the require effort is.
Got it. I'm doubting you know what you're talking about now. You're not able to address the material questions in front of us in this discussion, and when pressed for specifics you attempt to use word play to distract. When pressed for clarity, you double down on ambiguity. I'm concluding you're arguing in bad faith or you are out of your understanding of the subject matter. Irrespective of which it is, it looks like we're come to the end of any useful discussion. I'm done, but you're welcome to continue responding into the void if you would like.
Have a great day!
