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.

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.

clown is crying now his loans will be affected. suck it up. it is just business.

it is mostly you, Nazi Felon Musk, not just your random unscientific cuts.

Most people don't like swaticars.

Elon should be fired, if Felon Musk was Felon Musk boss, he would fire Felon Musk.

It took him this long to finally understand that?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 35 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Despite his claims to the contrary, Elon Musk is not a smart man.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (4 children)

Honestly i question what he really knows/understands.

He has a undergraduate degree in physics. But nothing in computer science and majority of his companys are mostly computer science. I feel like he just has a fasod that hes "smart" but pays other people to tell him stuff and he just relays that as if it were him that knew this information. Very similar to path of exile de-bockel

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Does he have a real degree in physics? I thought it was honorary or something.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

a theoretical degree in physics

[–] illegible@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 10 months ago

Just like Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich man, Elon is a stupid persons idea of a smart man. He's not a complete moron like Trump, but he's no Stephen Hawking either.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Think that mask dropped a while ago. He used to have a PR/management team that would stop the stupid shit he'd say from becoming public or affecting the actual businesses. He fired them around the Twitter takeover iirc and that's when we've all been able to easily see how stupid and bigoted he actually is.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

Yeah, no shit Einstein. Did he just now figure that out?

"Gosh, this guy is a GENIUS!" - fElon's dicksucking fanbois.

I care a lot! I want to see him get margin called, so he has to pay his loans

Nope don't give a rats behind..

If the Tesla board has any intelligence left, they will push him out.

They deserve all the hurt incurred so far for not doing it yet, and will deserve to go under if they don’t in time.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (3 children)

The board are just his friends and yes-men.

I mean, yeah. That was kinda the point.

I’m glad he connected the dots, but he’s incapable of having a true moment of self reflection.

[–] Nunar@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

The tesla grants from the government should be chainsawed! Just like the SpaceX and starlink grants! $38B in savings....

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's the nazi salute, elon. It was the nazi salute all along.

In the TV they interviewed a Tesla dealership employee: "no, the orders didn't went down, we're unaffected"

Bruh.

Car registration data is public. Registrations of Teslas went down 40% yoy even with a €4000 discount.

Tesla go down, Lexus go up

It's level of self awareness almost makes think its human

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Poor baby. I still don't understand why all the austerity measures. Because when donvict came into office, he was handed an economy with very, very great numbers.

I mean, in their fictional universe - the real reason is likely to defang any oversight of these criminals and steal as much money for themselves. The cover story they tell the idiot base is what?

I can't believe investors were OK with him selling twitter to another company he co-owns.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago

If trump legit won the election, he only won by about half. I think it's fair to assume probably all dem voters do not like musk now, and I'm sure many Republicans don't either. The majority is against musk.

Fuck around and find out.

That's definitely part of it. I would say the trucks that are literally becoming unglued (while the CEO is figuratively) are causing equal, if not greater, damage.

Must be why most ceos don't do stuff like that

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Nah they just do it more quietly

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Pretty sure that's the express goal with all the protests and the burning cars and the like.

When I think on it though, given his personality this comment is probably just a big FU to the protesting public, "See? You can't stop me, I still have hundreds of billions and will fuck things up at will."

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

Liquidate Musk

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Good. Left it go bankrupt. Fuck Musk.
