Israel probably knows that there are no takers for their delusions. But appearances are more important than the truth in this crooked world order.

Holocaust denial is a post-Nazi (after 1945) phenomenon, isn't it? Or did the original Nazis ever do that as well?
I think the Nazis were proud of what they did and owned it up.
But I agree that discrediting the discovery of the mass grave in Gaza is going to take more than the rhetoric of 'bullshit terrorist propaganda'. Israel at this point is leaning too much on people's sympathy when Hamas did the initial attack.
Easy. He classifies his lies by his company:
- Tesla: FSD, Cybertruck, Semi, Optimus and the spandex dancing man, solar shingles, solar farm, thermonuclear explosion proof glass, bullet proof chassis, battery-swap, range under full charge, share value, etc
- Boring Company: Hyperloop, Not a flamethrower, Vegas loop, pods, tunnel bricks, etc
- SpaceX: Martian colony, surface to surface starship, in-orbit refueling (to get to moon), in-situ methane production on Mars, etc
- Neuralink: Telepathy, Brain backup
- Twitter: Free speech
- Musk himself: His net worth, The man who knows more about manufacturing than anyone else alive
Sadly a very common and favorite strategy of genocidal autocratic regimes across the world.
The fundamental problem I see here is the cloud. We were supposed to have easy self hosted applications and data on cheap always-online hardware. Instead, companies promoted cloud services with the intention of rent seeking through subscriptions.
If you look at the software that went from open source to source available, you'll notice that almost all of them are cloud applications. Why? The companies that created them were hoping to make money through the same subscription model. But then, big cloud players like AWS just outcompeted them using their own software.
Would this have happened if the FOSS ecosystem neglected the cloud hype and gravitated towards self hosting? Perhaps. But not as badly. We still haven't seen enough progress towards self hosting. It's still very hard for regular folks. Genuine efforts like sandstorm didn't find enough momentum. I hope this changes at least now.
No. Just people fighting for the Darwin awards.
I wouldn't call idiocy leading to ER admissions as 'blown out of proportions'. That aside, I still don't understand what you prove by consuming something as distasteful as tide pods.
How about religion-backed traditional garlic treatment? Not joking. A lot of pseudoscience is backed by dogma.
The Kafala system sounds like a legal arrangement - which they are in these countries. But let's not hide its vileness. Always call it the 'Kafala slavery system' or the 'slavery laws'.
Many of the victims are from poorer regions of the world. They end up in slavery after being cheated by recruitment agencies, who take money from them by offering a well paying job abroad (unskilled, but better pay than in their own country). Most people don't even realize what they are paying for.
While the recruiters are truly villainous, the countries with the kafala system are no better. They know that the workers they get are victims of financial fraud and human trafficking. They still keep quiet and tolerate these criminals. They know that people won't choose slavery voluntarily.
Yes, it's from memory. But don't congratulate me yet. My guess is that it is just one third of Musk's most egregious lies.
