Liquidate Musk
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Good thing he's not elected then...
He's not even good at wearing a hat.
The dude sucks at everything but somehow has a mob worshipping him.
If I didn't have a moral compass or empathy I could probably lie my way to the top too.
Does he really though? Or is it just a legion of bots? I don't know anyone that's directly said they even like musk, I've heard support for dogs, but not any "praise Elon", maybe I'm just in the right circles to avoid it?
...and that would matter if he was dependent on votes by an electorate. He is not.
Good, the mofo should be stripped of US citizenship and flown back to South Africa in a Space X rocket. Make sure DOGE calculates the fuel load.
Yea I don't get why he hasn't been deported yet if immigrants are so bad.
Fuck him, send him to Antarctica instead or something, SA has enough problems without another rich poes fucking shit up.
Send him to Mars, what did the penguins ever do to deserve that?
It's cool a non elected, private citizen has an approval rating and a job in our government.
Especially since he is a crusader against unelected officials. I guess it takes one to know one! /s
When people shared that picture with his black maga hat i genuinely and unironically didn't know it was him. I thought it's so mean to make fun of that disabled guy, republican or not.
A South African foreigner too, not even American
Why does he even have an approval rating in the first place? He's unelected.
How many administrations have we been doing the unelected billionaire who bought the ability to run the government approval numbers? I'd like to see the trend numbers on that.
Geez, did Tesla make the floor too?
Glad to hear Muskrat's approval ratings are falling through the floor. But I would be much happier to hear that Muskrat himself were falling through the floor, from at least 30 stories up.
The good ol Russian elevator.
A tesla "full self driving" elevator ought to be enough to take care of this problem.
Unelected acting president has an approval rating should infuriate every American.
But he's rich, therefore a good person. -Americans
I think this was a more commonly held thought in the past, but I'd say many started shedding it following 2008/9, and moreso in the 2020s. The classiest divide is getting harder for people to ignore, and billionaires on social media aren't helping themselves lol.
This feels like the equivalent of
