Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

Controversial? Nazi salute = fucking disgusting

No controversy here.

Never thought trumpy would launch the transbrander movement.

I would use a Fisher-Price Powerwheels logo. No one is going to be fooled either way but Powerwheels were making electric vehicles for people without fully developed brains before Elon Musk even bought Tesla from the real founders. Gotta pay homage to the innovators in the field.

Plus, maybe some would-be vandals will get nostalgia for their childhood toys and decide not to piss on my theoretical cybertruck’s door handles. (Assuming it has door handles. For all I know, you have to pay $1.99/month for an in-app subscription to open the doors.)

Just a heads up there’s no c in Fisher if referring to US toy company. Just incase someone is looking this up who is not familiar with the brand.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks. Fixed it. I guess it’s pretty obvious I don’t have kids.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Not a bad idea, really. The only way to save Tesla owners at this point is to sell Tesla to whoever is dumb enough to buy it. What ICE automaker has no EV presence and money to burn?

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sheryl Crow donated her car to a NPR station.

[–] credo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I would still disavow the brand, because that means Elon gets to cash out anyway.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 weeks ago

On regular Teslas I kinda understand, but who are you fooling with that Toyota sign on that ugly ass Cybertuck?

[–] venotic@kbin.melroy.org 13 points 3 weeks ago

They can scrape the logos but can't escape the poor life choice they have to drive around in.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

People keep coming up with new ways to keep their Teslas but I'm not buying any of it. I can't tell a 3yo Tesla from brand new. The second he started spewing Nazi propaganda on X you should've sold yours. Don't act like this is all coming out of the blue.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

Still a Nazi-mobile, still painting a swastika on it.

[–] jbloggs777@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 weeks ago

Slightly less of a Tosser with a Toyesla.

This comic reads from top to bottom first instead of left to right. It makes my brain feel like the bottom-right panel.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I thought something felt off about it. Thanks!

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

He could just take an H from a different car, nobody would know the difference.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

That is some Master of Disguise level stuff right there.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 3 points 3 weeks ago

This is like trying to convince everyone that you are NOT covered in shit from head to toe. Whatever Brad! We can see and SMELL you. FFS

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Musk = POS Nazi wannabe!

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You have to love it.

This is what I hoped the article was saying they were scrapping 😆
