What a bunch of snowflakes. What's wrong? Are we hurting his feelings? The richest douchebag, who doesn't know what he's doing, with his head is so far up his own ass I'm sure he can taste it, doesn't like being called what he is? 🎻
Fuck him. I have no pity for fascists. 🖕🏾
We are all domestic terrorists
Bruh...
I emigrated from a country that makes it illegal to criticize leaders
only to end up in a country that is also about to make criticizing leaders illegal.
Just... wow
(from PRC to USA)
Come to UK / Europe. We've got universal healthcare and more robust democracy and many centurys long tradition of criticising and mocking our leaders.
Y'all need to invite Canada as a special member
Didn’t think they’d abandon Musk this quickly

"trump was right about everything", denial is the first stage of grief. the rest will come in due time don't worry.
"Republicans do not support the first amendment."
They also don’t support the USA.
They're traitors, and you know what they say:
He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.
transl.: if you get caught redhanded commiting crime, just claim it is for patriotism or some shit...
So be it. Not unexpected when every head up there has a deep-seated persecution complex
Republicans are something society needs to leave behind in full. They literally don't stand for anything and are net negative for society.
The destruction of the mainstream conservative media by companies like NewsCorp have yielded great results for right wing authoritarians.
At this point, they clearly aren't even for corporations or shareholders, given the most recent cascade of economic catastrophes.
This is the only hope for America not to fall, if Trump and Musk also screw the elites too much there will be much more likely a revolution.
What about Vandalism against other car dealers. That's also domestic terrorism, right?
This is coming from someone who doesn't necessarily disagree with burning down Tesla dealerships.
Define terrorism
Explain how burning down Tesla dealerships to resist Elon's political takeover is not terrorism
If you want to define it as a political takeover then it's legitimate action to protect the state from an unelected and ineligible person conducting a coup. After all words have meaning right?
Well that's my point, we should be arguing the legitimacy of the action, not whether or not it constitutes terrorism, which it obviously is.
Not american so have limited knowledge, but that's what the "well armed militia" is supposed to be fore right? To allow the public to protect itself from a corrupt or otherwise dangerous political parties?
That's what the anti government militias would like to believe. In reality when the country was founded they had a discussion about State Militias versus a Standing Army. The Federalists believed a standing army was a requirement and argued the state militias would be enough of a deterrent to the standing army doing oppressive stuff. The Anti Federalists did not want to risk it and argued we could easily make do with state militias and a standing Navy. The Anti Federalists and Federalists compromised with an amendment protecting the right to have militias and giving Congress the power to raise an Army in a time of war.
Really it's a miracle we even have an Army and not just a giant Marine Corps under the Navy...
But yeah all the self defense, tyranny, and sporting shit didn't come around until much much later. For example the shoot out at the OK Corral was an attempt by local law enforcement to disarm suspicious people in town. There wasn't a concept of an uninhibited individual right to carry. Guns were tools required for frontier living and militia participation and laws reflected that.
Such big man babies, they are going to make it illegal to not like them??? There is not a word in the English language that describes how baby, child like and immature this behavior is. I think we shall call it being musk. They are being extremely musky about this.
from TFA:
go for the tires. easily accessible. high energy density.
Nice. If they'd had that as a color option, they might have sold more!
Just avoid setting the whole thing on fire. Lithium battery smoke is extremely toxic.
But what about those of us around the world that hate him? Am I an international incident yet?
So, the land of freedom is now trying to tell people what emotions they can feel? Against the guy who's supposed to be a free speech absolutist?
"You can say whatever you want, as long as it doesn't upset me."
The hypocrisy is unbelievable. You'd think they'd at least avoid making themselves look like complete fools, try to hide it a little?
Next thing you know they’ll be calling democrats an insurgency.
They have been... In this very article they claim (with no evidence) that the Democrats are finding the NGOs that are doing this.
They've been waging war on words for years now. Keep using them improperly until they don't have any meaning left. So... totally on brand
