All the mass shooters in the world, and none can get this twerp?

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

This is slander to space. Elon has never been there, and probably never will be. He's not associated with it at all, and if asked, space has dozens of planets as witnesses willing to corroborate this.

He's not a Space Nazi. He's a Rocket Nazi. Not even the Rocket Nazi (that'd be Wernher von Braun); just a wannabe hack.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Not a "space" Nazi. Just a very rich and powerful one.

What did we used to do to rich and powerful Nazis? Because keeping those around seems like a problem for everybody.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Give them high paying jobs in the defense industry, NASA, and NATO.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm really loving that someone with the handle Nonconfrontational is banned. I can only assume that they were confrontational somewhere in this community.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

They're extra confrontational - that handle is satirical for sure.

[–] halezinflames@lemmus.org 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Oh boy, the Nazi that is now suing a US state over them trying to stop AI from generating CSAM has a bad take? Shocked.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The same state that actually showed Derek Chauvin some actual consequences for once in his life.

Minnesota is kinda awesome if you can overlook the continued existence of MPD.

[–] halezinflames@lemmus.org 3 points 12 hours ago

Definitely.

Elon Musk only had to shut the fuck up and mind his business and he could’ve been the happiest, most successful, piece of shit drain on society alive. Instead, he’s a miserable little bitch whining online about a murder committed by an officer 6 years ago. Christ.

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

To prove your point I legit don’t know (based on your word I should say remember) who the dude is. Was this the Minnesota cop who shot the dude in the car while he still had his seat belt on? Or the dude who shot the kid for being new to his neighborhood (who we all found out after the fact stole a pack of skittles).

Keep in mind I stole a few candy bars when I was in high school. Kids do dumb shit, all kids do.

Or wait was this the main asshole cop that suffocated a dude in the middle of the street by laying his knee on the guys back?

Or was this The New York or New Jersey cop who suffocated a dude for selling cigarettes on the sidewalk?

Fuck….

When you list it all out from memory it’s fucked up. And I’m sure I’m still missing some.

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

You forgot the one where the police served an illegal no-knock warrant to the wrong house and kicked the door in causing the homeowner to fire a shot (rightfully) believing there were home intruders and his EMS worker girlfriend was murdered in the officer’s return fire. Can’t you think of the poor officers? It’s awfully hard to read a house number

[–] mattyroses@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

but the cops were all very afraid!

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemmus.org 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I've found most people who tell me "that's the truth" are lying.

Or when they preface anything with "honestly...".

[–] mattyroses@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

The gunslinger is the truth.

Roland is the truth.

The Prisoner is the truth.

The Lady of Shadows is the truth.

The Prisoner and the Lady are married. That is the truth.

The way station is the truth.

The Speaking Demon is the truth.

We went under the mountains and that is the truth.

There were monsters under the mountain. That is the truth.

One of them had an Amoco gas pump between his legs and was pretending it was his penis. That is the truth.

Roland let me die. That is the truth.

I still love him.

That is the truth.

When is a door not a door? When it's a jar, and that is the truth.

Blaine is the truth.

Blaine is the truth.

What has four wheels and flies? A garbage truck, and that is the truth.

Blaine is the truth.

You have to watch Blaine all the time, Blaine is a pain, and that is the truth.

I'm pretty sure that Blaine is dangerous, and that is the truth.

What is black and white and red all over? A blushing zebra, and that is the truth.

Blaine is the truth.

I want to go back and that is the truth.

I have to go back and that is the truth.

I'll go crazy if I don't go back and that is the truth.

I can't go home again unless I find a stone a rose a door and that is the truth.

Choo-choo, and that is the truth.

Choo-choo. Choo-choo.

Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo.

Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo.

I am afraid. That is the truth.

Choo-choo.

"Space Nazi" affords him even the dubious accolade of getting to or enabling space travel.

Just call him a Nepo Nazi, as he is. Highlights the only thing he's achieved: getting ahead based on being raised with "South African emerald mine" money.

[–] mattyroses@lemmy.today 2 points 4 hours ago

I think we should give hmi that title, then strap him to the outside of a rocket and fire it off so he can earn it.

[–] paddy@piefed.social 23 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

He continued to kneel on George's neck for several minutes after being told - by his fellow officers - that he had no pulse. He 100% intended for that man to die.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Didn't some of the testimony include that they'd had beef since high school?

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 2 points 13 hours ago

The source? I just made it the fuck up

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Derek Chauvin himself pleaded guilty in federal court and admitted that he used excessive force.

Whatever the constitutionality or merits of his current effort to reduce or eliminate his federal sentence, that has absolutely nothing to do with his underlying murder conviction. Chauvin was convicted of murder in state court beyond a reasonable doubt, and he admitted his guilt. A subsequent challenge to his sentence does not erase, invalidate, or somehow put that conviction up for debate. Derek Chauvin is, and will remain, a convicted murderer.

And Elon Musk continues to prove, over and over again, that he may be the stupidest smart person I have ever seen in my life.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

He's not smart! Holy shit why do people think he is a genius? I just don't understand, he didn't invent anything, doesn't design anything engineers are currently talking about having to walk him back because he's deadset on something catastrophically stupid.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Because you can hate the guy all you want but he's still smart enough to make himself untold fortunes. Neither you or me or the rest of the planet have been able to do something like that. Yes he did it in an underhanded immoral way but nevertheless.

The caveat with this asshole is that he's also dumb at the same time making him absolutely unique which is why I call him the dumbest smart person in the world.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Making millions starting from millions is expected more so when you buy into successful businesses and run off the creators. Eg Tesla and space x

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He’s not a dumb smart person, he’s a dumb person’s interpretation of a smart person. He was just born with too much money to fail. The guy is stupid as fuck.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

And the drug use is not helping.

[–] subgenius@lemmy.zip 2 points 14 hours ago

I am the Great and Wonderful Oz, therefore I will think for you to ease your burden.

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago

Here comes the pardon...

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I distinctly remember when that video popped up on reddit.

My reaction was "i just watched a murder."

It was very clear in the moment, nothing has changed that.

[–] JerkyChew@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

There must be some really crazy credible allegations about to drop for him to try this level of SEO-bombing.

[–] Naive@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The father of all lies. I have seen no one that lies as much as him and these AI bros. They should be deported to Mars. They do not deserve to live on Earth

[–] Glaedr304@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Deported to mars without a space suit

[–] joecitizen@piefed.ca 32 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Jail all billionaires. You can't be that rich without being a thief. You've stolen wages from the people.

"the ants are unifying under the banner of socialism! Quick! Divide them racially again! Get them hating each other!!!"

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It has always worked before, if not race then sex, if not sex then nationality, if not nationality then religion, if not religion then age, if not age then social status, on and on ad naseum.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

No war but class war.

Is it legal to wish someone to put a knee on his neck until this bastard passes out?

“Why do people say such atrocious things” they wonder, as they endlessly reply, retweet, screenshot and spread to other social networks, etc

Engagement is engagement
