I'm looking forward to after all this mess is over, all of the felony charges that he's going to get hit with just for what he's been up to the past few weeks.

Elon Musk, free speech absolutist.

[–] MrLLM@ani.social 11 points 3 days ago

We’ve been mishearing him, it’s fee speech absolutist.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 114 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you want to know who really is in charge, just look at who you're not allowed to criticize.

And I'm using it against a literal neonazi. Seems fair to me.

Interesting fact, thanks.

As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day

Use of a phrase doesn't automatically imply agreement with its originator.

Even a stopped Nazi clock is right twice a day.

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I mean, the phrase was made because they're pussies who can't handle criticism of their speech. In this use the "not able to crtisize" is literally having your ability to speak shut down.

Why is everyone bending over for Elon? He can go outside and play hide and go fuck him self with Trumps mums thalidomide filled lead based dildo.

[–] Bogasse@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago

Well he's both the richest man on earth and prime minister-ish of the home country of these platforms.

I agree he doesn't say a lot of meaningful things but it would be a mistake to think he doesn't have power.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, come play outside, Elon, come play with, me, he, he, he

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 2 days ago

Eeeeloooon... Come out to play-ay!

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

He needs to climb into a bunker and follow his leader

[–] YamahaRevstar@lemmy.world 86 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I hereby claim that the law was broken! Arrest Elon!

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Have you donated 7+ figures to Donnie? Maybe sprinkle in some leveraging the social media platform you own to help spread propaganda? How concerned are you with the cost of eggs?

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

I donated 300 funko pops to him. How many figurines equal one figure?

Seven figures? Try nine. Musk spent an absolutely staggering amount getting Trump elected.

Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran for unrelated reasons.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Musk’s team of youngsters, as first reported by WIRED on Sunday, is Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.

The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;

Chad Loder. What a name!

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Yeah, spreading hate, fake news and tearing down a government is fine, discussing who is behind this is against their policy due to "doxing and supporting violence".

[–] Grant@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

This is the exact reason that I deleted my Reddit account and am back over here

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Remember what Aaron died for?? Spez has become everything that man stood against.

Fuck spez. Fuck censorship. Fuck corps.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Elon has demanded control.

I remember that sub and the blackpeople one being absolutely vile cesspits, but if they're trying to kill elon or any doge members I can get behind that.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 12 points 3 days ago

Crazy that subreddits that revolve around blatant public racism could be so awful!

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 8 points 3 days ago

Enemy of my enemy...

President Musk is a parasite

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This is why I think it's important to stoop to their level and start spreading childish rumors about them.

✔️ Not inciting violence

✔️ Not illegal

✔️ Not significant enough for them to claim defamation

✔️ Makes them far too angry for how petty it is on account of their extremely low emotional intelligence

For example: JD Vance only eats the cat food part of lucky charms pass it on

Another example: JD Vance says he's sorry after cumming pass it on

Just one more for good measure: JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Not to start a rumour, but is it illegal to ask if Musk might be a pedophile?

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

The guy certainly doesn't mind cp on his site

[–] prex@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Many people say so. I don't know. Edit: the second bit, not the illegal bit.

In theory, asking isn't illegal and truth is a defense against charges of slander and I wouldn't be surprised to learn his desire for domination extends to children. In practice, you're probably a few billion short of laws to apply.

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You don't have to spread rumors. The Truth is scandalous enough. The cult will cult.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 days ago

JD Vance cums in his lucky charms and shares it with his cat
