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

Just FYI, this phrase originates with a literal neonazi.
DaddleDew@lemmy.world 2 months ago
And I’m using it against a literal neonazi. Seems fair to me.

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.

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.

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

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?
ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 2 months ago
Seven figures? Try nine. Musk spent an absolutely staggering amount getting Trump elected.

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

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

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;

Also Chad Loder (bsky.app/profile/chadloder.bsky.social) and Talia (bsky.app/profile/taliajane.bsky.social) have been great at reporting.

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 2 months 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 2 months ago
Yes, come play outside, Elon, come play with, me, he, he, he

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.

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

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

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
chakan2@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You don’t have to spread rumors. The Truth is scandalous enough. The cult will cult.

Not to start a rumour, but is it illegal to ask if Musk might be a pedophile?
straightjorkin@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The guy certainly doesn’t mind cp on his site
prex@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Many people say so. I don’t know.
lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
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.
11111one11111@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah but you really can’t dox people even if it seems like the moral thing to do. It wasn’t any decision made outside the company, it was made by reddit because it was walking a fine line with their policies.
I’m going entirely off theory but there is a likely chance the people who got hired to be a minion had no idea the parameters of the job. I’ve gone thru the government job listings and they will tell you only so much about the position. What is required to qualify for the job, what tasks will be done in the job but beyond that, they aren’t going to tell you what the grand scheme of the position is. So to me, if any of that is true, then they are trying to post the identities of people who may be appalled by what their job is but don’t have the means to step down without having other income already lined up.
I’m not saying anything about what musk is doing is right. I’m just saying, there should be action taken to prevent the identities of people being posted on the internet for all to see.
Dont forget, reddit has literally falsely identifyied an innocent man who committed suicide as being the Boston bomber. Creating an absolute hell for the grieving family who thought their son was missing only to find out he committed suicide before the boston bombing happened. They only found out from the reddit manhunt to dox an innocent person.

I was under the impression it was six people that were DOGE henchmen. They absolutely knew what the job was so I don’t know what you’re on about. Their names should absolutely be public knowledge.

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.
PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 1 month ago
Who, the guy that posted on Reddit? Yeah, he’s going to be in a lot of trouble, I agree.
I kid. I actually think that the one saving grace in all of this is that Trump is generally considered the boss, and famously thin-skinned and jealous, and Musk is like a hot poker to both of those attributes over the long term. I think it’s halfway likely that Trump will turn on Musk, especially after they cause some kind of absolutely unmistakable visible national fuck-up, at which point his plot armor will go away and he’ll suddenly be liable for all of his crimes.
It might be wishful thinking. But I think it’s at least 50% likely.
