In the same vein, Musk didn't make billions. Tesla workers did.

These CEOs always claim they can't do good for workers, because they need to please the shareholders. So now that the CEO of Tesla is sinking the company, where are these supposed all powerful merciless shareholders at? If I was a shareholder of Tesla I'd demand felon's head for doing all this damn to my investment.

There's got to be tons of lawsuits right? Like all the people that have been fired and tons of people being affected negatively by musk probably have class action lawsuits and stuff?

I mean let’s face it… Insurances will probably give you more money for your car then potential buyers these days

What an insufferable idiot

Why so many people are cheerfully cheering for burning teslas owned by random people when it seems it would be easier to burn this fucking nazi asshole? Just get rid of the source of the problem...

burning teslas owned by random people when it seems it would be easier to burn this fucking nazi asshole?

Because simply in practical terms, it's the other way around. There's a Tesla right next door, but only one Musk somewhere, probably not where you are. And mostly, one has personal bodyguards, while the others just sit on the road.

Last I checked, being the man who oversees a genocide does not make you innocent. In fact, it makes you just as bad, if not worse, than the people following orders.

[–] suite403@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I'd say worse. In the least, people carrying out orders might be doing so out of fear for their own life. It doesn't excuse it, but on the scale I'd say that's much better than putting people in a position to kill or be killed.

For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking "he's an idiot and he's just drawing attention to himself." But now, to anyone that was still thinking "maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn't really mean it", this is it. If you're not getting it now you never will. He's literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.

I've known a number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They're often quite kind-hearted, loving people. Musk is not. You don't need to insult them twice by comparing Musk to them, and using hateful terminology while you do it.

Maybe call Musk an asshole, a nazi, a shitass fucking fleck of rotten cumstain stuck to Trump's taint instead.

[–] NotAnAlt@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 days ago

What do those people have to do with Musk being a retard? Would youcall them retarded? I'm guessing not. Most people don't use the world that way anymore.

It's clearly been repurposed and it's getting quite silly how upset.

The definition of the word has nothing do with disabilities:

To keep delaying; to continue to hinder; to prevent from progress; to render more slow in progress; to impede; to hinder;

When someone calls Musk a retard they obviously do not mean he is disabled. They are referring to the base definition of the word.

Now downvote me because you disagree but be aware of the irony in retarding the word from being changed from an insult towards people who are disabled to a word that describes a deep rooted willful ignorance.

[–] el_muerte@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

No.

This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.

Elon is a Nazi, full stop.

I've been reliably informed that, unlike Reddit, I can reply "Fuck Musk". I hope that's the case. If it isn't, still "Fuck Musk".

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

You can reply "I hope Musk gets shot in the head" for all we care, friend!

[–] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I've been under the impression that, unlike Reddit, I can upvote posts like this, so I did.

[–] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

I’ve been under the impr-

FUCK YOU ELON MUSK YOU ARE A FUCKING DISGRACE AND A NAZI. I HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.

I was taught to have zero tolerance when it comes to Nazism. If you don't deal with them, they'll deal with you...

There is an unmarked ditch/grave for all the nazi soldiers and sympathizers from WWII near where I live. There is always room for more.

ZERO TOLERANCE, motherfuckers!

Punching nazis is always the right thing to do

[–] CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He also is famous for loving to post 14 flags under his posts. 14 is a white supremacist number called 14 words. He's 100% a Nazi and he does not hide it one bit.

As much as "I was just following orders" is not enough to excuse someone of their responsibility in atrocities, "I was just issuing orders" will not excuse anyone either.

Anyone who thinks that just because someone didn't pull the trigger, that means they're not guilty, you can get your ass back in line to lick elons boots.

This is in the same vein as "Hitler did some good things" kind of cognitive dissonance. While the statement may not be wholly false, the fact that anyone could overlook everything he did that was bad, to find some small piece of something he did that can be construed as "good" is simply trying to put an objectively evil person into a better light, when they do not deserve it.

There are plenty of misunderstood people in history that did very good things, and were killed/maimed/murdered/imprisoned/tarred/feathered/whatever, because they did something that the wrong people saw as bad.

Nobody should ever try to find a shining light of good deep down in the black abyss of Hitler's life.

Reminds me of a Brazilian advert for a magazine in the 90s. It started with some large black and white dots, slowly zooming out, and the narration went something like:

"This man was an artist. When he took power, his country was in a deep economic recession, but he brought prosperity back and made it home to some of the most important industrial companies still functioning today. To this day, many people look up to him. This man... (zoom out finishes) was Adolf Hitler.

It's possible to tell a lie telling only truths."
