How does this article not include a picture of the ad?

The article’s link goes to X (twitter) though, not to imgur.

Gee I wonder why. Truly a mystery for the chronicles. /s
cotlovan@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Because musk himself posted those ads, obviously.
What is the point of that article? Let’s associate everything negative on Twitter with musk personally because we dont like him?
Funny, I expected to find “Technology” posts here, not political activism.
sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 1 year ago
If you think technology isnt analogous with socio-political development then you have definitely missed a huge point in the tech-sphere.
Technology is not your friend. It will consume you, destroy you, and ultimately replace you. Not in a philosophical way, but rather literal sadly.
It’s not a new thought, decades old.
If you do not want to be aware, please close your eyes. Life will eventually force them awake.

Musk wasnt even elected
jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Out of curiosity, are any other state secretaries elected? (Canadian here, don’t know US system well.)

Stop asking questions when you know the answer.

Whatever that was the mods were quick to delete it. Almost too quick.

What’s up with the username (Nixon Groyper) ? I understand Groyper, but Nixon was a pretty okay president up until Watergate and very much not a Nazi.
I think it would’ve been funnier if the first name was Brandon, Andrew (Andrew Jackson and the trail of tears), or Franklin (FDR and Japanese Internment).
Maybe it’s a serious ad though, but in that case, why pick Nixon?
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Do you understand Groyper, though?
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Well, I understand what it means, I don’t understand the people who align themselves with it.

- spend millions to create laws to protect a genocidal entity working towards ethnic cleansing Palestinians from their lands.
- why Twitter have a Nazi and?
What do you expect from people who worked hard to support Zionist Nazi in their mission in genociding the Palestinians since WWII with historical knowing ties to Hitler, and allowing them to bluntly own all branches of government? It was evident at least since the attempt of ethnically cleansing Gaza that the US government and many fascist allies in Europe have no issue with white supremacy. They been actively and proudly stating their goals, but the American people got played with fake democracy until it reaches this moment.

“Zionist nazis” is the most ridiculous thing I read this month. People like you really lost contact with the reality
MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Projection
Doorbook@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes definitely lost touch with reality.
www.jstor.org/stable/2536016 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement
The Haavara Agreement (Hebrew: הֶסְכֵּם הַעֲבָרָה, romanized: heskem haavara, lit. ‘transfer agreement’) was an agreement between Nazi Germany and Zionist organizations signed on 25 August 1933. The agreement was finalized after three months of talks by the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the directive of the Jewish Agency) and the economic authorities of Nazi Germany. It was a major factor in making possible the migration of approximately 60,000 German Jews to Palestine between 1933 and 1939.[1]

Seriously, my first thought was looking forward to the ADL explaining why smiling Hitler denying the Holocaust is not antisemitic since it isnt against Israel or something.
ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You know why. We all know why.

Where else would one publish such an ad?

At home, I.e. “Truth” Social?

Of course he does, it reminds him of home.

It’s quite common for nazis to do both. “The death count is inflated, but they deserved it anyway/I wish it were more” and such.

Meta? Zuck has been extremely supportive of the nazis in power so far
cotlovan@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Haha, last time, when Facebook was “fact checking” and “fighting disinformation” the Zucc was a hero, now he suddenly supports nazis.

Alphabet and Meta might be at that point soon, with the way things are going.

He has Nazi sympathizers in his family going back to WWII. He grew up in apartheid South Africa. Dude is scary.

How is that a serious question? Are they trying to be deliberately obtuse, or are they just fucking stupid?
OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Just asking questions makes it harder to sue under English libel law.
Look at the difference.
Elon musk is a Nazi.
A clear factual statement leaves room for disagreement. Maybe he’s just an edgelord fascist radicalized by 4chan but doesn’t have enough fashion sense to be a Nazi.
Elon musk is a Nazi?
Perfectly safe.
Etterra@discuss.online 1 year ago
Interesting. I hadn’t considered that possibility.
RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Because we all saw this coming after everybody voted for Trump last November. If you didn’t see it coming then you were just part of their plan.

The question is, would anyone be surprised if there was?

Sure it’s an ad and not just the owner’s tweets?

phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Oh yeah, I too hate Hitler only because of Schindlers list. I grew up in Europe in the 80s and there is absolutely no other reason than that movie why we should hate him, really! The guy could do no wrong, he even loved dogs! Hell, he even painted! Bos Ross paints too, why would you hate Bob Ross? Don’t hate Hitler, he’s like Bob Ross!
I feel like I need to shower and apologize to Bob after writing this.

Cuz its X, that’s why. I really don’t know why we tolerate this shit, or why people still use that site.
SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yep. I’m so lost why anyone who remotely dislikes trump and musk still use it. Switch to bluesky or something from the fediverse…but gtfo xitter…

Sounds like free speech here in the United States. I understand Musk might now be consistent but I do welcome free speech on social media. If you don’t like it then block it & move on. It’s almost like Democrats search for things to get upset about. Really annoying cause free speech used to be something Democrats cared about & now they are pro-censorship & fascist just like Republicans. They thirst for violence against people that say something that offends them.
HarryOru@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I suggest you call the nearest mall and tell them you placed a bomb in there. It’s just free speech, it’s not like you actually put a bomb there, you’re just saying it, so it’s fine. If they don’t like it they just can hang hup and move on. I think it will be a totally fun and safe experience for you to try and that there will be absolutely no consequences for anyone involved, because that’s how free speech works.
Or maybe, I don’t know, you could pick someone you don’t like and start telling people that they’re a pedophile! It doesn’t even have to be true, it’s just free speech. You are free to say whatever you want! And if someone wanted to do the same thing to you, it should absolutely be their right to do so! Free speech for everyone! It’s literally free!
timewarp@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Your example is bad faith, but I assume you know that already. If it isn’t, then I really don’t know if I can explain to someone that lacks mental acuity about over 50 years of case law on the subject. There is even more case law on libel & slander, but it sounds like reading isn’t your forte. However, if you’re capable of reading then I suggest you do so. But go on & pretend to be ignorant, or maybe you really are & if so then come back after you’ve actually read & studied the decisions by the courts and we can discuss what you think they got wrong.
Murdoc@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
There are limits to free speech just like there are limits to other freedoms. For example: “The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins.” IOW where harm is done. So the question becomes do messages like this cause harm? IANAL, but I believe that it would qualify as hate speech, which is widely considered to cause harm.
timewarp@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hate speech isn’t a thing in the US & countries that have enacted those pro-fascist “hate speech” laws have since seen alt-right ideologies start growing at unprecedented rates.
There are over 50 years of case law on the subject. We can discuss prominent cases on it if you want, or heck why don’t you sue & claim it is hate speech, send me the docket number and I’ll eat my popcorn.
takeda@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s also important to distinguish freedom of speech (protected by the first amendment) from free speech (a made up concept meant to bastardize on the former and to allow social media post whatever they want anonymously, like this ad).
AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Here’s some free speech for you:
Fuck you, Nazi-enabler.
