    What to know about Elon Musk’s ‘free speech’ feud with a Brazilian judge

    gotta see that feud with Indian judges, nobody asked him to block 8000 accounts, including western media outlets, whatever is he gonna do? :/

  • Yeah, elon's not a nazi...

    ...he just wanted to send out a message of hope and support to nazis round the world by siegheiling twice on stage behind the seal of the United States...yeah...

  • Yeah, he is forced to, but just to be clear, he will bitch for a month if this happens for thoroughly legitimate reasons in any country that is a functioning democracy e.g. UK, Brazil, Biden US, Germany, South Africa...

  • Yes, but that's not a dictator fetish (ok, it is, but it is a different one)... He knows dictators are a bad thing to be, because he calls the people he doesn't like one. But he never calls out actual dictators, he actually makes deals with them and helps them. That says he likes and respects that model of governance, even if he knows it is deeply unpopular and deeply disrespects functioning democracies. And uses it to rouse his stans.

  • Blackbirds are pretty discrete...they invest in vocal variety instead.

  • not my job and this is not the place to waste my time providing a textbook-level of evidence of what you could have researched yourself if you were willing to be persuaded, but ask your History teacher if you're seriously asking.

  • I think elon called Lula a dictator...and called the UK a dictatorship. That makes it even more obvious what he's doing.

  • 2 dolls, how about no dolls, you don't need dolls in the mines.

    Here, play with this pixelated pickaxe.

  • Subconsciously, many (10-25% depending on culture and social conditions) people long for the protection of a benevolent father figure who will save, nurture and esteem them (especially in today's ultraneoliberal jungle)...

    But the benevolence depends on who you are and fluctuates with time. So you might end up under a malignant father figure if you end up at odds with it. These people who can't imagine they would ever be the targets of the father figure are the ones who think they are the chosen/good ones who can do no wrong.

  • We're gonna have to build a loooooooot of housing quickly... :/

  • Show the actual video whenever possible, don't let them off the hook with "it's an awkward hand gesture by an awkward guy".

  • How long until Voltron?

  • I knew it was going to be bad, but I wasn't expecting them to go "the founding fathers were woke" so soon, they must be really confident about their grip on their brainwashed base.

  • Israel-first americans. Just as disgusting as America-first Europeans :/
