Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Seriously - more people need to understand this weird fucking cabal of white South African tech magnates that grew up in apartheid and evidently still think that apartheid was super cool.

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

weird fucking cabal

Weird is an understatement. His dad was a bizarre figure.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ooooh yep.

To other users: if you haven’t looked into how Elon’s dad fathered not one, but two children with his stepdaughter, one of which was fully intentional… well. Buckle up. It’s a wild ride.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

It was for them when they were the oppressors.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I came here to say basically this. Who's actually shocked about this? Is this like shocked pikachu?

In fact, not at all shocking if you've paid any attention to him at all. He also believes in the replacement theory. That's one of the reasons he has so many kids.

"White people could become a minority"

Oh, well that shouldn't be a problem, because we treat minorities with respect, right?

Him and his billionaire buddies will get getting precisely zero solidarity from this whitey. Where the high hell does the world's richest prick get off even using the word 'solidarity'?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 51 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As a white person, fuck solidarity with white supremacist Nazis like Musk. They are a blight on humanity. May they be replaced completely and soon.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago

Ah yes, the superior race. Although Elon had several cosmetic surgeries, hair implants... so much for superior genetics.

Also, his dick doesn't work anymore and I low key expect that is one of the main underlying reasons for him being who he is today. It's a literal dick measuring contest and nothing more.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 44 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

Fellas, nobody hates you because you’re white, they hate you because you’re an asshole. Anyway, I tend to agree with Chris Rock. We should all just keep fucking until everyone’s the same color.

Its almost like he grew up on the privileged side of apartheid.

A nazi said what? Im shocked!! /s

[–] X@piefed.world 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Neither the Nazi post nor the SA Nazi’s endorsement of said Nazi post is at all shocking to anyone even remotely bothering to pay even the slightest attention these days.

[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

I’m always a little thrown off when I see the x handle anywhere. Elons apparently obsessed with that letter. First thing that comes to mind: “is this Elon Musk?”

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Never grew out of that middle school mind where x's were cool.

As a white person, I can wholeheartedly tell him, he can fuck off and die, we don't accept you, we don't want you, infact, we want you to fucking die.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Fellow whittie and 100% agree. Hope him and all his pedo billionaire pals do the same as well.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

Dude was born in apartheid south africa and left after apartheid ended.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say his world view is largely in line with apartheid apologists.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

No surprise coming from a racist South African.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good luck finding someone who is as white as this.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How the actual fuck is he paler than me. I'm from fucking Scots-Irish abstract yet this South African pissant is somehow paler than me?! I feel insulted somehow.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

I went to high school with a girl who was part Scottish-part Irish. She reflected the sun.

He still seems whiter than her somehow.

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Zachary Leeman covered pop culture and politics at outlets such as Breitbart, LifeZette, BizPac Review, HollywoodinToto, and others. He is the author of the novel Nigh. He joined Mediaite in 2022.

Dude wrote for Breitbart, of course the nazi saying nazi shit is "shocking" his paycheck depends on him not believing nazis would say nazi shit.

"White solidarity!" declares serial sexpest, anti-labor authoritarian plutocrat, and absentee father. "Now get out there and do my dirty work, while I scream slurs at my daughter and horndog Steven Miller's wife."

[–] Mk23simp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So he's gonna have solidarity with that white woman who was shot by ICE yesterday, right?

I’ve often said fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes, but they’re a close second to white supremacists.

Any group which resides at the pinnacle of privilege, yet feels aggrieved such that it requires exclusion of, and protection from, conflicting ideas; it has relinquished all legitimate claims to strength and authority.
