Elon Musk should not be allowed to do business in the US whatsoever.

[-] themadcodger@kbin.earth 49 points 4 months ago

He should be part of the mass deportations they're always going on about.

Can we just skip ahead to the bit where he's holed up in a penthouse in Vegas, pissing in jars and saving them?

[-] SirNameHere@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Sounds like a typical work-night binge tweeting session except I thought Tesla was selling those jars as their own branded Tequila

Grifters gonna grift

I'm hoping this latest initiative goes as well as almost everything else Musk has tried in the last few years. About 95% of his plans and actions have been a total disaster.

If you own a Tesla, you helped fund this and should be ashamed.

[-] Corvid@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

I loath the guy and will never buy another Tesla, but what am I supposed to do? Sell it and spend thousands of dollars on a new car? For all I know the execs of other car company will also turn out to be fascists.

[-] don@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Save there doesn’t appear to be anything else you can do, you use your Tesla knowing what the company’s owner is until it no longer works.

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 13 points 4 months ago

Plenty of people bought them before Musk went full fascist.

[-] azn03@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

That's me. I bought it before he went straight crazy. I followed Tesla from a long time ago, but I'm on the side of when my car dies that I'll go with a different EV that has NCS charging so super charging network is available.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!
