For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

If that’s an actual photo from today then I doubt he was grazed much because I skinned my knee biking the day before his rally. I’ve still got a giant scab there.
Also Pete Souza isn’t just anyone. He’s a former director of the White House photo office.
It probably means he's on blood thinners. You'll bleed like you cut an artery even with a tiny nick.
So he probably had a tiny cut that just bleed a lot because of blood thinners.
Could be, but then blood thinners also make the wound heal longer.
So it was a really small one then, ok.
So he's probably off them to let it heal fast and back on. If it's just a nick, a day off doesn't sound too drastic.
When your a 90 year old turd with a steady diet of trash, not taking blood thinners for a day might be your last day.
Most blood thinners work for 7 days after you stop taking them because that's how long thrombocytes live in your bloodstream.
When your veins and arteries are lined with years' worth of fast food grease, it could be pretty drastic actually
My thoughts exactly. I was on them for a time and I'd bleed FOREVER if I cut myself shaving. That's when I learned about styptic pencils and alum blocks.
Styptic stuff is amazing. I didn't find out about it until I was in my late 30s
Stings like a bitch but sure does work
the ear is also mostly cartilage, so i wouldnt be surprised if there was a lot of blood flowing through them constantly, especially at the very top of the ear where he was grazed. Very well could still be on blood thinners, but i think i would just expect the ear to bleed pretty aggressively in some cases.
