Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Why is Elon even regularly talking in Germany? I don’t understand. Is this the most efficient use of his time now that his time is funded by our tax payer dollars(arguably he was before too but beside the point)? Doesn’t seem very efficient Elon. I don’t remember you asking the people if you should be doing that.
Fuck I hate reality.
He's upset that his German factory has to follow laws.
Ah, well, time to buy another politician. (Edit: /s for clarity)
Whatever the Germans are doing, I hope they double down.
Unions. That's all it takes, that's all it ever took.
Also, not making solidarity illegal.
Tesla giga factory in Germany. Probably other investments who knows. He's following the money just like all the rest of the shitheads like him
“It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said.
Non-German, in attempt to change Germany, warns Germans of non-Germans changing Germany
Isn’t this the same guy that whined about Brits getting involved in USA politics?
What about Africans getting involved in US politics?

They want Germany out of EU to fracture the block. Then, when Europe is fragmented and weak they can provide ( sell )"the solution" again.
Leon Hitler can go straight to hell. The photos from 1945 Germany are enough to tell me my German forefathers fucked it all up.
Why don't like 7 of us just pool ours hundreds of dollars and kill it already. It's like a bad flu, you kill it with cheap drugs and strong bodies
That fucking piece of shit needs to croak already.
[...] he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute [...]
Why is the popular media so scared to call a Nazi a Nazi? He did a Nazi salute. It wasn't just a gesture that drew comparisons from the internet. It was a Nazi salute, clearly done with intent.
CBS has litterally fired someone for "personal reasons" after she criticized Musk's Nazi salute on her Instagram. NBC is close to having me consider them a Nazi sympathizer; maybe they are terrified of defamation lawsuits enough to not say the truth out loud.
South African socialized under the Apartheid, sharing pseudoscientific racist memes for years, has eugenics and impregnation fetish, supports AfD and states they are the future of Germany and western civilization, renames himself Kekius Maximus, supports trump and does the salute towards the crowd right after saying that the "future of our civilization is [being] secure[d]" and then does it one more time facing der Führer. Whoever isn't calling this out as a nazi salute is a nazi normalizer.
And on a story about him literally supporting the racist nationalist Nazi-successor party in Germany. It's not even like they need to remember some external context to clear up their cowardly confusion.
This is what they always do. They're powerless in the face of the actual problem -- the richest fucker on Earth being a straight up Nazi -- so instead they try to invent another set of circumstances that make the threat seemingly less threatening.
It's not 100% verifiable and nobody wants to get a defemation lawsuit. (And perhaps they don't want to piss of a guy that's "friends" with the president)
So according to your justification, then nothing is an ever 100% verifiable. Can we even be certain that anything actually happened… man, like are really alive bro?
Because what everyone saw on video was Elon Misk give a sieg heil twice at a political event. There is nothing else that was or could be - what you said is just nonsense.
That is how news has been for pretty much the last 300 years, yeah.
So we just gonna let this dude's Neo Nazi World Tour go off?
If you're rich you can do whatever you want, apparently.
Luigi wouldn't stand for it. We need more Luigi's.
We need a Luigi leaderboard based on net worth.
There should be a louigi tracker. I feel like somebody should have have something we can all watch like people tracked covid back in the day. It just seems the odds of people getting louigi'd is just going to keep rising so it may as well get tracked.

Come on, stop with that. It's not because he's made an """"odd gesture"""", repeatedly supported political figures from nazi-founded far-right parties, supported open neo-nazis just as much, xat nazi dogwhistles and other great replacement theories wherever he could that he's a nazi.
You have no proof of that.
Does my impersonation of a muskolini apologist sound ~~brain dead~~ genuine enough?
Muskolini is actually a good one. I cringed my entire ass right off every time I saw some lib refer to him as “Elongated Muskrat.” I’ve had better sharts than that insult name.

No we all boycott Tesla until there’s a 50% drop in sales and hope the shareholders and board force him out.
So he's telling them to not learn from history abd repeat it instead. Oh well.
Their parents sin was not being harsh enough on a fresh crop of Nazis, so yes let's go beyond and finish the job
To be fair, most of Germany's current crop of Nazis are more like the grandchildren or great grandchildren of the original Nazis. The AfD isn't actually that popular with the older generations. They've got the strongest support from Gen X. Grannys against the Right (Omas gegen Rechts) is probably the largest antifascist movement currently active in Germany.

Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome priest?! The billionaires are really going mask off since Mangolini’s inauguration.
They already have fucktard. You're trying to drag em back in
How long until Germany issues an arrest warrant?
That's probably why, the richest man in the world who could easily hop on a private jet to Germany as easy as it is for me or you to walk down the street, only did a "video appearance"
I'm really surprised they haven't shot down any Starlink satellites in their airspace. Unidentified or not, Nazi flying objects are illegal in Germany.

They can do it right now. Enforcement would be a problem in the US but at least he wouldn't be able to fly to the EU. I think the gigafactory is what's stopping it from going through.

He has to be stopped
Luigi, my hero, where are you?
Stop buying his shitty cars. If his Tesla stock tanks the rest of his empire will crumble.
The US won’t let Space X go under. They will nationalize it and let current management run it. But the rest of his business ventures will go under without Tesla propping them up.
I already don't but so far that hasn't worked. Mass boycotting just doesnt exist in modern day. We don't have enough inertia to sway the ignorant.
Tesla's market share has definitely been harmed by Elon's actions already, especially in Europe
Still, Tesla stock is up because Wall Street loves Trump.
Mitigated somewhat in Europe though because you can't buy the cyber truck there anyway because the thing is a death trap, both to its occupants, and everyone in the surrounding area.
