Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Summary

Elon Musk’s frequent presence at Mar-a-Lago and his involvement in sensitive conversations have raised concerns among Trump’s longstanding advisers, who view Musk as overly assertive and self-promoting.

Musk’s push for influence, including voicing policy ideas and taking credit for Trump’s win, has raised concerns about his motives and loyalty.

Please let them be too busy fighting amongst themselves these next four years they just are unable to get anything destructive done.

I am 100% in favor of teenage drama derailing their efforts to remove bodily autonomy from women.

That's the plan. But while the government is ineffective, big businesses will have free reign to fuck us over.

[–] RedditReject@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

True...but big business still needs us to buy their products, so we are of some use to them

At least that wouldn't be some new dystopian nightmare. Just the same old run of the mill dystopian nightmare we've already been living in.

Maybe Elon is playing a 5D chess long game to reduce Trumps harm and help humanity

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

He a) isn’t that smart and b) would have fucked that plan by handing him all the power with all that money and making the weird incel vote even more guaranteed.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Normally I would find humor in this statement. Not this regime, bro

5D chess to reduce harm done by Trump by.... Getting him elected??

I've actually had similar thoughts but the logic just doesn't add up...

[–] Steve@startrek.website -1 points 2 years ago

It doesnt add up yet

Maybe my 20yo mini dachshund is planning on producing a flux capacitor, but I'll believe that before i believe your fantasy.

Hopefully it’s only 2 years if dems can win back seats during the midterms

I’m sorry for being harsh, but the only reason the democrats exist is to slow down the fascists ever so slightly and then just peacefully hand over power to the fascists when they gain control again.

We need real change, the kind of change that only comes from a revolution. The democrats do not give a shit about you. They serve only the wealthy.

Stop believing their lies. Go out there and unionise!!
