That's not a wink, that's a masks all the way off flags flying "welcome Nazis" parade.

E: I realise that not everyone is aware of what 1488 means, but they're not the one being "winked" at, to those who know what it means, it isn't even a dog whistle, it's a full mouthed declaration.

Take a hint America. Republicans are telling you who they are.

[–] Keineanung@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

From the article: "As the Southern Poverty Law Center explained, the number "1488" is a reference to the "14 words" slogan frequently used by neo-Nazis: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The "88" is a reference to the eighth letter of the alphabet twice, interpreted by neo-Nazis to mean "Heil Hitler.""

If Nazis believed their dumb little slogan they would be fighting climate change. But they don't give a shit about any children, they just want to be bigoted assholes. They're just habitual liars. Pathetic losers full of hatred.

Every Nazi should follow their leader

When Musk sees this he'll start selling Teslas for 148 800$

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Nah, he's more of a $69,420 kind of moron.

Not saying he's not a Nazi. Just saying he is a specific brand of edgelord. For example, he carried a sink into the office for a forced "let that sink in" pun.

I'm cringing just writing this... Ugh...

Model S

Model 3

Model X

Model Y

To spell out s3xy. He's a man child.

[–] ouRKaoS 4 points 1 month ago

I'm disappointed...

He has enough money to buy elephants for his offices specifically to not talk about them.

[–] Yewb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I thought it was he was going to get rid of everything including the kitchen sink??

[–] skyspydude1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I mean, there was already concern about him picking August 8th (8/8) as the original day for the "robotaxi" event. Coincidence? Maybe, especially as Musk doesn't even really bother with trying to hide his Nazi tendencies.

Is that ad actually real? Or did someone photoshop it from 14.98 like on their website?

Edit: omg….

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Both their website and their twitter profile currently show this promo with the 14.88 price when I load the respective pages.

Edit: Let me upload screenshots for posterity's sake

[–] Yewb@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

This guy gave everything in feailty to trump look where it got him.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

This guy is to humans what his pillows are to pillows.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Scrolling back though their twitter profile form the current promo I see a few more prices that appear suspicious in retrospect: 9.88, 14.98 and 18.88 for example.

The article mentions a point of uncertainty:

As Cotlar noted, it's not clear whether Lindell is in on the reference. In a video announcing the discount, Lindell is seen holding up two pillows and announcing the new discounted price as $14.98, even though both the official MyPillow website lists it as $14.88 with the promo code.

"I want to tell you about a current box store that put in an order — a big order — for our famous MyPillows, we made them all and got ready to ship them and they cancelled at the last minute," Lindell said in the video, after lamenting that his company had been "cancelled" by "attacks that just keep coming."

If you actually check my 14.98 link above there and follow through to the website both promo sites, the old https://www.mypillow.com/r251 from Sept 10 and now https://www.mypillow.com/r277 link to the same video hosted on vimeo https://vimeo.com/1008571598 title "video-output-2A900B79-65FC-44FB-8C21-E348491689FB" uploaded Sept 11, so they made the video with 14.98 first, and now just reused it even though they updated the sales price to 14.88

Nazis deserve to sleep on the worst pillow humanity has yet to devise, so in a way I'm kind of ok with this?

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)
