A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

I have literally since they were released wanted a Tesla…right up until he decided to start this right wing bullshit.
I have for a few years now said if in 2015 he decided to become a recluse and just revel in his companies grandeur he might be the next Edison or maybe more accurately Ford. Possibly Hughes.
Now we are aware of how much of a petulant, unfunny child this dickhead is. He and his reputation is ruined.
The story of Elon will be a phenomenal one. Icarus af. He could have ended world hunger and much more, but decided to become a nazi cunt and ruin everything. Money can't buy intelligence.
To become a billionaire you have to be a piece of shit human being. No billionaire is ever going to solve world anything, because again... They are trash human beings.
i was looking at BYD EVs this week, they seem alright? even tho they are mega tariffed
My biggest issue with BYD would be maintenance in my location. I got dealers for American, Japanese, but nothing for anything Chinese. My normal independent shop I use doesn't want to touch our hybrid either.
Even if the company cans him its not likely to ever recover from all this
I take comfort in knowing that their sales were already bad before all of this
Best fucking country, so proud.
As a Scandinavian I too am proud of my brother Sweden. 👍😀
But you have to take it back about being "best", when you obviously are only 2nd best! 🇩🇰
Fuck, didn't think you guys were around...
More like in the top 5 🇫🇮
Ok, thanks, we all needed a laugh :)
But seriously, don't ever change a thing about yourself, you're too valuable as Russia's speedbump.
Way to go! 💪🏼
Fucking about with the workers union also adds to the lack of trust and desire for the brand.
Yeah, I think the union thing and the latest nazi salute form exactly the kind of combination Sweden won’t forgive easily. Tesla’s reputation is completely gone.
Did I miss something? He's been throwing nazi salutes out this week also?
Just the same two he started with, but we don't forget in Sweden.
Most people in Sweden appears to have forgotten what party Jimmie Åkesson joined, so I don't know about that.
Ha
