Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Hated mostly by the left. Among normal people he is innovative and well respected
From where you're standing, everyone is left.
How so
Today people that praise Elon Musk are often far-right reactionaries, or at the least very much not of the 'left' on the political spectrum.
Like the totally normal shooter whose Twitter account views were more than half dedicated to musk... Along with literally every right wing extremist for the other half. Also America has no left.
Have no idea what you mean, please cite reliable sources
The recent mass shooter in Maine liked and shared posts by Elon Musk. https://crimedoor.com/articles/robert-cards-twitter-feed-under-scrutiny-for-clues/
Yeah, right. As if you respect reliable sources. Prove it by giving sources for "normal people respect" him.
I don't care to put in that much effort for a guy that can't understand why his kids hate him or the shooter that worshipped him. You can probably find it by searching for: Elon scrubbed shooter Twitter/x account, but I honestly doubt you care beyond finding some way to continue to simp or white knight for ya Xdaddy.
If you still respect Elon Musk after every obvious display of stupidity and incompetence he's shown, I think that says a lot about how willing people are to kiss the ass of billionaires on the right, and that's just sad. Musk doesn't give a fuck about you.
Please give specific examples, cite sources
Username doesn't quite check out
Edit: Want an example? Just scroll to the top of this thread and you'll find one. Need something bigger and more concrete? Try justifying the whole blue checkmark ordeal.
Check out his profile. He's a walking MAGA meme.
Oh dear... and his instance just allows that?
Is there a problem with that?
Yeah, your supporting a traitor that should be behind bars for life not running for president of the US
The famous interaction in which he publicly slandered and mocked a disabled employee on Twitter.
Hated mostly by people who actually think for themselves, and don’t mindlessly worship the rich.
Prove me wrong.
Normal people lmao
Yes.
Well, eh, not really.
Who is a specific normal person that has written anything praising Elon Musk? He is respected by some but I am concerned by what you would define as a normal person.
