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.

I think you're missing the point here, the knick he had on his ear was so damn small that it's way more likely it was a piece of something from the podium vs a piece of a bullet.

Why does it being small make that more likely? There is a photo of a bullet going right past his head.

The angle also mean if that was a round or piece of a round his head would have been in the way.

Do you have a source for that?

Exactly, a picture of one going right past his head, he was damn near at a right angle to the shooter. He didn't turn fully to star at the shooter, so unless he's made of ar500 plates the odds of that being a bullet is basically 0.

Well he had just turned, but there are breakdowns where you can see pretty clearly how it happened. But yea, it was very unlikely that he survived- that's what everyone said. Yet it happened.
