Stop using his shitty services and supporting him. This is not a hard thing to grasp.

I mean, if Lemmy has trouble figuring that out, what hope is there for the normies?

[–] hal_5700X 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Good luck with that. People always say they're going to leave twitter/X. But they come back. Like they're addicted to it.

Leave X and let it die, like you should have done when the butt-musk bought the site a year ago. Durr.

I can't believe people still use that site in light of everything we know about Musk. It should have been a ghost town months ago.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still can't believe people even used it before Musk bought it. Literally any other forum is more effective for engaging with others and being able to follow a discussion.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It’s less that Twitter consumed forums and more that it was practically the final nail in the coffin for RSS feeds.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What can anyone do about it?

Stop buying from companies he owns.

Stop using services he owns.

[–] RagingRobot 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is why I haven't flown with SpaceX

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Same. Any minute now I'd be taking my daily jaunt around space, but alas, the major players in the space are Bezos and Musk, so because of my principled stance (and nothing else!) I am going to shit post on the fediverse instead and then maybe play some video games.

Why does the worker class, the larger of the two classes, not simply eat the ruling class?

[–] masquenox 6 points 1 year ago

the larger of the two classes, not simply eat the ruling class?

I wouldn't feed these parasites to dogs - never mind the working class.

[–] some_designer_dude 3 points 1 year ago

Because we’re too busy working and the tools we would use to organize are being bought and tanked by the ruling class.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Perhaps they are saving it for sweeps!

Ignore him. The more people forget about him, the more worthless he becomes, in any sense of the word.

Don't type his name. Don't seek him out. Don't write fucking articles about him. Delete him.

[–] some_designer_dude 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If history has taught us anything, it’s to NOT ignore the raging antisemite with a curiously large (and growing) support base…

So you're saying the premier American car manufacturer/rocket builder is an anti-Semite?

I'm shocked!

[–] FuglyDuck 35 points 1 year ago (9 children)

tesla is not the premier car manufacturer. Their cars are dogshit with terrible QC... they just got the current gen tech out before the others (by cutting corners).

as for space ex, their success is largely in spite of his meddling. he has no freaking clue what he's doing with an aerospace company.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I guess premier only in terms of inflated stock value. I was considering weighing my words more wisely but figured I couldn't be bothered haha

Elon Musk is an antisemite. What can anyone do about it?

Make him take off his pants and sit on a lighted Menorah.

[–] FlyingSquid 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is almost Hanukkah season...

Don't even have to wait, candles are lit on Fridays. You don't need 9 candles for this.

I mean... legally? No, not really.

Extra-legally? He has a security team. They could easily arrange an "accident".

Now, sure, extra-judicial executions are generally bad, but I'm willing to make exceptions for billionaires and nazis. And wouldn't you know, this guy is both.
