The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...

  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Why do the tankies love these people so much?

Because "America bad" and folks like Musk are harming America's reputation.

And the stun lock continues. Kind of admirable

This is in no way a defense of Elon. He is a horrible Nazi and he hates Jews and I'm a Jew.

That said, I'm not seeing where he brought up the Holocaust. He made a bunch of very offensive puns regarding Nazi leadership, but unless I missed it, nothing about the Holocaust. All the critical responses seem to mention it so maybe I'm missing it?

I guess I feel like "makes Holocaust jokes" is just unnecessary hyperbole when what he said was awful enough.

I think the best thing to do is just completely ignore everything the guy says. Don't feed the trolls.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

I'll ignore him once he's no long relevant in the public space. Musk isn't something like the Kardashians. Politicans and CEOs are listening to him.

hey, I need my daily dose of nonsense to survive

So, next time Leon Hitler visits Israel, he can walk around giving the Nazi salute to the fascist Ben and the Likud Party?

Can we please stop paying attention to this jerk?

I know reposting his Tweets makes news sites money, and gets upvotes, and whatever, but for heavens sake, don't feed the trolls.

Musk is what over feeding a troll ultimately looks like.

If reporting critically on what the government and its members are up to is now "feeding the trolls", then the phrase has lost all meaning.

It's one thing to not engage with online bullies and leave them bored. It's another thing entirely to start anew with first they came for the illegal immigrants, and I didn't say anything, for I wasn't an illegal immigrant.

Learn the lesson of history: this time around, first come for the Nazis.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Absolutely not. If you think he's evil now, just wait until we stop paying attention to what he's doing.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

That ship has sailed.
