i love how lemmy’s c/upliftingnews brings actual uplifting news
Hahaha hey elonazi fuck you in the neck!
The “uplifting news” that makes us all think about US politics again, for the 40th time today.
In the eloquent words of Matt Serra,
“Good. Fuck 'em”
Excellent news!
What makes this uplifting instead of just news?
The fascist owner of that company.
And we are better off spiritually or socially for his company having a hard time?
Its not him. Its a symbol of him but not the actual fascist.I am not upset at the news but it doesn’t bring me great joy as it does not change the situation, he has the ear of power.
This feels like celebrating a neighborhood burning cause you got mugged once when walking through it.This feels like celebrating a neighborhood burning cause you got mugged once when walking through it.
Then you and I have very different conceptions of a neighborhood. Neighborhoods contain humans and are good and bad as a correlate to their good or bad effect on people’s lives. Companies contain products and are good or bad based on how well they do or don’t serve the profit of shareholders.
Moreover a company facing consequences for giving all of its power to a fascist intent on literally funnelling the world’s wealth to himself and turning us back to feudalism is not merely symbolic, especially since his wealth is still tied to it. Sucks to suck. They could’ve dumped him with the Cybertruck.
Lastly, though bankrupting a company isn’t merely symbolic in this case, symbolic retribution is not worthless. If we made effigies of these people and executed them, lit them on fire, and dragged them through the streets, there would be real effects. The coalescing of the people’s anger, the fear of those who were burned in effigy, whatever steps that would be taken in response. Symbolic acts have power.
Your comparison didn’t make enough sense sorry. Tesla is directly related to his wealth, which gives him his power, which gives him the ear to power you mention. He’s an asshole. If you erode the value of Tesla, you decrease his power. Decreasing the power of this fascist asshole is a good thing.
This news does make me happy, but if you’re implying it doesn’t belong here I’d like to say I agree.
let’s go for the trifecta and get it to happen at starlink and spacex too
Im shorting tesla stock lol 3000$, hey if i lose whatever but could win big lol, also fuck that nazi elon
Their best and brightest are being poached, it’s only a matter of time really.
Nah, I can’t say that about Star Link despite who the awful owner is. People rely too heavily on Star Link now and there’s no competition. If you need a car you can buy a different EV, but they can’t do the same for an Internet connection. However, this would be a great time for some other billionaire who sucks a little less to start a competitor.
It’s not happening at starlink. There is no competition and people who have it are not going back to the shit they had before.
I love how this is in positive news
I deeply dislike Elon Musk and would be glad to see him suffer.
It is fun to see that the little plus they made came from regulatory credits, i.e. emission trade. Which is likely to be chopped under Trump for being woke in the highest.
Musk is in charge of the chopping…
Suddenly I realize what all the data he gathered is for. It’s a dead man switch. He dies or gets thrown under the bus, he releases all the data the government knows about all the wealthy dodging their responsibilities and shitting on the middle class.
Why though. It seems nobody cares. It could be released and people would go who cares.
This, yeah. Heck, remember the Panama papers?
I don’t know, for the purposes of everything that got him to power and is keeping him in power those people don’t seem to care if everyone knows their business.
Nobody’s saying the quiet part quietly anymore.
That would be the best case scenario, in reality he just datamined and is using it to sell metadata to foreign countries and train an AI on data that nobody else had
So you are saying Elon saw what happened to Epstein and thought “He might have been onto something…”
Their CEO is a nazi so yeah, we get it.
Good. Let them burn. The moment that loser heil Hitlered he should have been removed the next day. You are now complicit and have chosen your side.
He is both the leopard and the face.
But they could always be worse :)
