“The real problem is not like the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership, it’s the people pushing the propaganda that cause that guy to do it,” he continued.

“The president has made it clear, we are going to go after them. The ones providing the money. The ones pushing the lies and propaganda, we’re going after them,” Musk claimed. “I think there’s some real evil out there. We have to overcome it.”

This statement means that U.S. Citizens no longer have Constitutional rights.

So he's gonna stop talking, right?

People do it because they hate Elon's nazi propaganda, so the government should deal with him to fix the issue.

His self-description is really perfect.

He even includes the "money" aspect, which people who hate Tesla because of Elon really aren't interested in.

If someone wants to pay me to burn some cars, safely, with no harm to people...they can hit me up.

we'll fight against the false claims that we're nazis by doing some nazi shit.

He is right about the evil part, but he only really has to look into the mirror.

Let's say your above post was deemed illegal by ~~Elon~~ the US government. Do you feel confident that the NSA couldn't uncover your identity and pass the details to a CIA ops team?

Good luck deporting most of the UK for calling Elon a bellend.

Gotta love the party of small government and free market capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

So how many times is Elon getting arrested for spreading Russian propaganda?

The ones pushing the lies and propaganda, we’re going after them

While lies are tortuously liable (grounds for civil recovery rather than a crime), criminally punishing propaganda and speech would be a textbook violation of the First Amendment.

*Edit: I thought money was speech

Is it propaganda if it's all true?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Propaganda doesn't need to be true or false. However it is usually biased to promote a political cause or point of view.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I think it is, technically.

I love teslas... so much so that I want to take them to swimming in a lake 🤗

Folk, gotta show your love for teslas by bringing them to your nearby waters 😉

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

No need for a lake - just take them through one of those washing streets, and it'll brick itself. Saves costs on dragging them out of the lake.
