World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He bought successful companies and fucked them over.
Every company that has remained successful after he got involved did so by keeping him the fuck away.
So no. He’s not a successful businessman, he’s not an engineer either.
He’s a venture capitalist, and not even a very good one.
Yea right! Why don't you go and meal prep for work tomorrow. Gotta be a busy year for the next 30 years.
He is SO amazing. The average CEO spends 60 hours a week on their business. He is CEO of Telsa, SpaceX, and X Corp. That is only 180 hours a week. But don't forget he is on the board or holds some high positions in at least 4 other business. Let's say he spends 20 hours a week on each of those. We are up to 260 hours a week now.
Elon also has 14 children who he loves and cares about. He spends a minimum of ten hours a week with each of his kids so that is only 140 more hours a week. We are up to 500 hours per week, but wait there is more.
Elon is constantly making the sickest memes and posts on X. He spends a lot of his free time doing this for fun, but it is also about upholding his amazing image. He spends forty hours a week making memes and posting/responding on Zombie Twitter.
Elon is also an avid computer gamer and spends at least 20 hours a week kicking back smoking weed and just playing computer games for the fun of it. Don't forget he also loves his Ketamine. He also spends at least another 20 in a khole every week. We are at 580 hours a week.
We haven't even gotten into the amazing marketing, engineering, and programming whiz he is. He spends countless hours on these activities, troubleshooting code, doing advanced calculations, and coming up with the best marketing plans for his companies. He spends another 80 hours per week on these.
We are up to 660 hours per week but we haven't even talked about his romantic side. He spends another 40 hours a week pursuing/trying to fuck his female employees. He is a lover and not a fighter so we are up to 700 hours per week now.
He accomplishes almost half a years work every week. Compare that to yourself. How much do YOU get done in a week!? Do you waste a half of it sleeping, eating, and going to the restroom. If only we all were so productive.

The question was how much do you get done in a week good sir.
Doesn't matter. He needs to ensure plebs get the work done. He doesn't have to "work" per se
That is where you are wrong, he is the hardest working man in history. I suppose you are just overwhelmed by his magnitude and your lack of equivalent achievements.
He may have accomplished more in a year than your entire lifetime. It is humbling really. A true testament to the meritocracy of capitalism.
Lol true you and me , we both have to slave 9-5 for the next 30-40years. GOD! Hate this life. Everyday feels like a struggle. How about you?
Got a good family but we are struggling like everyone. What we get paid is nowhere enough to keep up with things like deferred maintenance and retirement. This is a problem with most people who chose to have families unless they have a very lucrative career/business.
I went to college in my twenties to get a job so that I could afford to insure my family. I worked for twenty-two years before I finally got one that I could. I just bought my first house but I am pushing fifty now. Things aren't not bad, but we have struggled for decades to get here.
So it is a mixed bag for sure. I am grateful I have my family and we can live together and have at least the basics to survive. Joking aside, our future being determined by wealthy people like Musk is a dreadful prospect.
Well people are the problem. You , me and everyone elae. Nobody can do anything about it so let's just keep our head down and keeping slaving as long as we can
