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!

It’s not nearly blowy-uppy enough for my taste yet.

Needs more actual blowy-uppy

Good, I hope he becomes such a social pariah that he fucks right off to russia. A cautionary tale that your wealth and the privilege that you buy with it cant buy the respect from people that are not for sale.

I am relishing the fact that this complete loser thought his money would make people like him, or at least respect him, and the exact opposite is true. All the money in the world, and he still cant attract a romatic partner or even a friend. He has to create DNA Storage Units/ Human Shields by renting wombs. The closest thing to a friend is the most prolific traitor in American history, a psychopath who hates everyone, including his own family.

Skum is the loneliest Sociopathic Oligarch in the world, and it is obvious that it really, really tortures him.

That makes me happy.

There's nothing we could do to Musk to make up for the damage he's done to the world.

I mean, I wouldn't turn down "15 minutes in a room with him while he's tied to a chair and I have a baseball bat", but that's still not enough

Oh wait, this was a metaphor?

Unfortunately. Here's to hoping him and trump go up on one of his rockets so the world can mourn them like we did the submarine idiots.

I've been expecting a cheeseburger to do the job.

Comrade pretzel almost took out that one guy a few years back, anything is possible.

I hear Mayor McCheese is on his side though, he helped that greasy bastard out of a legal situation.

That would deserve a holiday akin to the 4th.

Given that Boeing and SpaceX are planning to collaborate on designing and building the next Air Force One, which will be a novel design fit for the DOGE era rather than a workhorse like the 747, and Trusk want them to have it ready ASAP, your hopes may yet be rewarded.

The last 24 hours have brought a parade of humiliation for the world’s richest edgelord

Nice!

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 21 hours ago

Now that the bubble has popped, it will never inflate again. The brand image is in the toilet, and likely unsalvageable, especially if Skum insists on being the face of the company. Most future news about the company will be negative - sales decreases, recalls, crashes, delays, fraud, etc.

Tesla will be bankrupt in about 2 years.

May he lose all his money

Musk = POS Nazi.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 22 hours ago

Including his shitty cars! Ba zing!

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 23 hours ago

Not fast enough.

Not the bukkake Musk needs, but the bukkake Musk deserves.
