Summary
Elon Musk accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of “feeding off the dead bodies of soldiers” and falsely claimed he is “despised” by Ukrainians, echoing Donald Trump’s rhetoric.
Musk also threatened changes to X’s Community Notes after fact-checkers refuted his claims. Trump and Musk’s remarks align with Russian propaganda, prompting European leaders to reaffirm support for Ukraine.
Observers rejected claims that Ukraine is a dictatorship, emphasizing that its wartime election suspension is both legal and justified, similar to the UK’s approach during World War II.
Critics argue Musk’s stance undermines free speech and factual discourse while aiding Kremlin narratives against Ukraine.
Musk is a Nazi piece of shit.
totally, but this is a broken clock moment
I starting to genuinely wonder if we’ll see Musk getting executed in my lifetime. Either by lynching/angry mob Mussolini style or an actual judicial process leading to death penalty.
Ask Luigi.
We don’t need to ask Luigi.
He already showed us what to do. We can be even more effective than Luigi by just having more people rising up Caesar-style.
Dare to dream.
I think Trump might have him killed
Depends on whether he manages to create the 4th Reich with Putin or whether Europe wins the upcoming war.
Perhaps he manages to piss off the rednecks and they lynch him, but so far they seem to love it. Then again the consequences may not really be felt by them yet.
Holy shit Zelenskyy appears to have seriously triggered them.
I wonder if he said something to the effect of “no i will not participate in your stupid fake peace process, if you want to stop supporting us, say it with your full chest to your own country where I have a higher approval rating than you.”
An an American I agree, I think a exponentially more of Zelenakyy than fuck wit trump and Nazi musk
Putin is putting a lot of pressure on them to make this deal. Elon’s kids could be kidnapped, or his parents. Putin isn’t messing around. They are in deep shit. What Elon keeps thinking is National Treasure meets The Hangover meets Austin Powers with him as this “funny but lovable” space villain who is just being a little rascal, is a delusion. And when Putin reminds him that this is actually real life with real consequences, it triggers his substance use issues and other narcissistic abuse issues. He is seriously in deep shit, they are messing with BRICS mafias and mobs that are part of official state governments that have nukes. It’s not good for them
Kidnapped? He probably lost track of the other 12 that he isn’t using as photo op props in the Oval Office.
That he has 12 kids means it’s easier and more likely one will be kidnapped than if he only had 2
I don’t get the impression he gives a shit about his kids.
He seems quite fond of little Kevlar.
Elon doesn’t care about anyone or anything other than getting richer… and himself of course.
And his investors and the board members of his companies do care at that type of negative press
Elon has too many kids with random people and can easily become an asset/target
Doesn’t that asume he cares about his kids (in a capacity more than a human shield)?
I don’t think he cares about his children, he uses the current one as a human shield,
Elon has too many kids with random people and can easily become an asset/target
How wild is it that any women would let Elon sploodge inside her?
It’s fucking disgusting.
Wierd part is it was ivf. Dude is closet something.
https://howwebecameafamily.com/what-makes-all-of-elon-musk-s-children-ivf.html
Musk is a grifter that has never created anything in his life m. He has leeched off other’s creations thanks to the emerald spoon he was born with
he’s often touted as a founder of Tesla, but he wasn’t a founder. He bought it. Much like all the other projects he’s got. He hasn’t created anything in his life. He was born rich, and inherited many many millions of dollars. He’s nazi scum.
Luck plays a part, but Musk does seem to be skilled in choosing the right people to give money to.
While this scumbag is acting president his companies should not be allowed to operate in the EU. Ban all of them and confiscate any EU based assets.
Man I just love that our dumb fuck leaders are regurgitating Kremlin lies for our dumb fuck citizens to lap up like dogs.
I heard his approval rating is insanely low for a president this early in their term. Unfortunately it doesn’t mean so much now but at least there are folks in the USA not lapping it up, no idea where they were on election day though.
It doesn’t matter how low it is, he has that 30% locked in.
It will literally take him destroying their lives for any of them to change, and a bulk of them will still never change, much like the COVID deniers who denied it’s existence up to their last breath when COVID killed them.
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
-Carl Sagan
God damn, Carl Sagan 360 no scoping the 2020s from the 80s and 90s.
I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.
Yeah Sagan did that kind of a lot.
This is such a fantastic and prescient book.
It also doesn’t matter 'cause they got elected, so they don’t care anymore. They’ll spend the next two years transferring as much power to the Whitehouse as possible, so that it doesn’t even matter in the midterms. The very clearly will try to get a third term movement going. It’s straight out of the Hungarian and Belarussian playbook - it’s not fantasy.
According to https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/ he still has a net positive rating.
The great thing is that it doesn’t matter how high that disprove number goes, he’s already in power as is Musk who we didn’t even vote for.
Absolutely true, yes.
No need to insult the dogs, bro. “lap up like MAGAts” will do fine.
I’d gladly take a cabinet of golden retrievers over what we go.
Is it allowed to say that I honestly can’t wait to see Elon gone from this planet? What a piece of shit human being ugh
The word “treason” used to mean something in this country . It can again.
We can just send him back to Africa, in whatever condition.
We’re going to need one hell of a canon
I don’t want to call for anything illegal here but Elon Musk has to go somehow or some way. He’s a danger to the western world. He is compromisable and a facist.
I am currently rooting for ketamine to win this battle in the war on drugs
Can you overdose on ketamine?
I’ve injected a fair bit (accidentally) on one occasion. Took me a while to work out who I was and what had happened, but I was fine after a bit. But TBF you can overdose on pretty much anything if you take enough.
even water. There’s such a thing as water toxicity. It dilutes your electrolytes so much that you can die. But tbh, I think if you drank that much water, electrolytes are the least of your worries.
Yeah I’ve heard of people dying that way. I believe you can actually get something like drunkenness from water - although you’d have to drink a lot, and you’d probably die not long after experiencing the sensation.
Too much of anything is going to fuck someone up proper.
I heard you become anesthesized long before that. Maybe alcohol or cocaine can do it
This is literally a Russian talking point! “If you care about these soldiers, you’d end the war quickly!”
In other words, give Russia the land they stole and reward them for all the men, woman and children they have murdered, tortured, raped, and stolen as well as all the destruction they caused! If you do that, Russia will do this again, and it might be your country! Please support Ukraine because I think the US will actively help Putin now…
It’s because they are literally owned by Russia. Here’s an old post of mine with reputable sources: https://lemmy.world/comment/13431373
It’s either this, or the buzzwords using"Western countries did this or that", it’s the same thing tulsi said a while back on a poc right wingers channel
If by now you’re still on X, you’re actively part of the problem. No more excuses.
I will delete my account as soon as I get the chance. I mean I don’t use it at all, but I think it’s important now to actively remove it.
I can’t remember my user name. To reset my password I need to enter my user name…
Can’t you enter the email you used to sign up?
Either way, you probably could use a password manager in your life ✨😁✨ Life changer.
I only want to access the account so I can delete it.
Right. You want to login so you can delete it. Try the email you used to sign up, instead of the username. 🙂
Edit: I’m dumb. Right, you’re stuck. 🫠 That’s a shame.
Have you found an alternative where I can follow most public personalities that I currently follow on X?
Edit 4 days later: I came across https://openportability.org/ and used it to gather my following list on X and follow them on Bluesky and Mastodon. 3 people found on Bluesky and 0 on Mastodon…
A lot of them are on Bluesky by now, and the rest? Fuck em
Exactly. Bluesky is not ideal by any means, and could turn into a another “X” down the line, but it’s the best alternative to avoid it right now. It’s also pretty popular, with some posts from famous people raking in as much engagement as Edgelord Musk on X.
Any public personality that stays on x is not worth following.
So you’ll keep giving money to Musk because X is convenient?
I don’t give money to Musk.
Not directly, but you’re contributing to the profit of the platform.
Yes, nobody’s perfect.
There’s perfect, and then there’s “Sure I’m supporting a genocidal, Nazi lunatic destroying global democracy, but like… how else will I hear about what public personalities had for lunch?”.
Not sure the bar could be any lower.
Do you eat animals?
“You support Nazis.”
“I do. Nobody’s perfect.”
I do not support Nazis.
When your life is perfect, you can criticize me.
I just want you to make an informed decision mate
Thank you. I asked in good faith, I am exploring Mastodon and looking for the accounts I follow on X but a lot are missing unfortunately.
Really? You need these personalities in your life?
I like to stay informed about politics and prefer to read content straight from politicians and political analysts.
They probably have websites where they post news
Or like a content aggregator where people post links to news and discuss it. I wonder where I can find one of them,
Many, like Régis Le Sommer, do not.
Yeah, your local gas station gossip magazine you pop culture addict
Why are you mean?
What public figure are you following on exclusively Twitter that is important enough to stay there?
He cant get one. They don’t has gas station gossip magazines in Russia.
About 80 journalists, politicians and political analysts.
As suggested by a couple helpful people here I will check if they have blue sky accounts and will encourage them to setup a Mastodon account.
You might have to miss out for a bit, but once they start noticing a significant drop they’ll move somewhere else. People with “public personalities” want to be seen and heard, they’ll go where people can see and hear them.
I’m willing to miss out on a few of them if I can find most of them somewhere else.
Jesus fucking christ
I thought he was dead
You should keep reading, you’ll like the plot twist…
He came back to life, then popped out for milk and a packet of cigs and will have been back any minute now for the last twenty centuries, pinky swear promise
Removed by mod
Why are you mean?
Why are you still on a Nazi site?
Because that is where most politicians and political commentators are.
Out of curiosity, if Kanye West opens a book club for reading Mein Kampf, would you join it to keep up to date with unfiltered political analysis by a piece of shit? If the answer is no, maybe you should reconsider your stance on X.
I am not interested in Kanye West’s opinions.
One is defending his homeland from an oppressive and authoritarian regime.
The other sells cars that drive people into walls and fire trucks, then cancels the people investigating and regulating his company.
Who feeds off dead bodies?
Happy cake day.
If this were the 1930s, Musk would be blaming Poland for not submitting to the Nazis in the same way.
Block X.
Any country that is running an election needs to block X right away.
100% why tf is this man given so much power?
Money.
So much money that my brain is incapable of truly understanding what it would look like in cash.
Just to give you some perspective. One hundred million dollars in 100 dollar bills would be a pallet stacked about 4 feet high. A semi trailer could hold about 56 of those pallets, or $5.6B. As of today, Forbes says Elon is worth $384B, which would be about 68.5 semi trailers full of $100 bills.
But I’m sure more would materially improve his life.
Sources:
His net worth is about 17% of all the cash in circulation in the US. One asshole.
Which is a fun trivia but a bit irrelevant. His net worth is in overvalued tesla shares, it’s not like his owns 17% of all dollar bills, stored in a huge swimming pool.
For a brief while, Max Fosh had a higher net worth than him.
Because no one has the sack to put a stop to it.
Trump is out for blood this term, and even the slightest hint of dissention will get you fired and dragged through the razors.Other than pandering, notice how quiet the GOP has been lately.
Seriously, what’s the point in keeping it around? There’s really very little if any upside.
I also block any news source that uses X as the main delivery of whatever their article was about. It’s been a bloodbath.
Block
XElon.
I do not understand why Ukraine, with Poland, continue to use Starlink. WTF, Leon is in bed with the fucking neo-Nazis and Russians.
No alternatives. And I’m not only talking about the military - some schools, kindergartners and other institutions use them in the places, where it would be very hard/impossible to use regular wired network.
