Stop using his shitty services and supporting him. This is not a hard thing to grasp.
-
I mean, if Lemmy has trouble figuring that out, what hope is there for the normies?
-
Good luck with that. People always say they're going to leave twitter/X. But they come back. Like they're addicted to it.

Leave X and let it die, like you should have done when the butt-musk bought the site a year ago. Durr.
I can't believe people still use that site in light of everything we know about Musk. It should have been a ghost town months ago.
-
I still can't believe people even used it before Musk bought it. Literally any other forum is more effective for engaging with others and being able to follow a discussion.
-
It’s less that Twitter consumed forums and more that it was practically the final nail in the coffin for RSS feeds.

What can anyone do about it?
Stop buying from companies he owns.
Stop using services he owns.

This is why I haven't flown with SpaceX
-
Same. Any minute now I'd be taking my daily jaunt around space, but alas, the major players in the space are Bezos and Musk, so because of my principled stance (and nothing else!) I am going to shit post on the fediverse instead and then maybe play some video games.

Why does the worker class, the larger of the two classes, not simply eat the ruling class?

the larger of the two classes, not simply eat the ruling class?
I wouldn't feed these parasites to dogs - never mind the working class.
-
Perhaps they are saving it for sweeps!
-
Because we’re too busy working and the tools we would use to organize are being bought and tanked by the ruling class.

Ignore him. The more people forget about him, the more worthless he becomes, in any sense of the word.
Don't type his name. Don't seek him out. Don't write fucking articles about him. Delete him.
-
If history has taught us anything, it’s to NOT ignore the raging antisemite with a curiously large (and growing) support base…
-
There's a difference between keeping a watchful eye on someone, and actively platforming them.
Writing articles, striking up casual conversations, and actively bringing attention to him are all things that bolster his existence.

so Musk is Hitler, reborn? I'd read that isekai

So you're saying the premier American car manufacturer/rocket builder is an anti-Semite?
I'm shocked!
-
tesla is not the premier car manufacturer. Their cars are dogshit with terrible QC... they just got the current gen tech out before the others (by cutting corners).
as for space ex, their success is largely in spite of his meddling. he has no freaking clue what he's doing with an aerospace company.

Elon Musk is an antisemite. What can anyone do about it?
Make him take off his pants and sit on a lighted Menorah.

It is almost Hanukkah season...

Don't even have to wait, candles are lit on Fridays. You don't need 9 candles for this.

I mean... legally? No, not really.
Extra-legally? He has a security team. They could easily arrange an "accident".
Now, sure, extra-judicial executions are generally bad, but I'm willing to make exceptions for billionaires and nazis. And wouldn't you know, this guy is both.
-
Someone would have to pay them better than Musk does. I'm guessing he doesn't skimp on security guard paychecks.
-

-
Nationalize his companies and ensure he has a glowy career future of mining lithium for the batteries (until he dies in agony).
-

I use mine as a prybar to help civil engineers open manholes for easy access to my cities infrastructure. I suppose there's more than one way to filet a feline, however.

Elect him as the president?

Really loving that 14th amendment right now.

Everyone in this argument are fucking morons. How about ya'll stop killing each other and figure out how to stop climate change
-
who cares
-
Reasonable non hateful people?

The crux of the issue is that he has supporters. You can claim don’t give him money as a soln for those who don’t like him but there’s still plenty of morons who still worship at his alter.
People will always think celebs are only ever attacked bc of their status so long as they fit into their own in group.
Part of me wonders if it has anything to do with, and how much, bandwagon feminism and not true feminism. Ik that might sound incel-energy but I really don’t think it is. I’m not convinced that mental health or any of the other underlying systemic issues that men face were ever properly solved or supported. If you go with a political stance of fuck the wrong people into the dirt with no remorse because they’re assholes, you kinda just give them more ammo to breed more assholes because you’re the asshole to them.
I think if we all looked at ourselves first, then looked at how others feel, then look at how we behave when knowing both sides, we’re setting up a stronger and stronger form of empathy the more aware we are.
I really don’t think most people would be such pricks had they not grown up in that sort of environment and had proper support for trying to correct inefficient behaviors, communications and so on. Not yo mention other pressures people might face for a wide variety of things like sex preferences, race, class, living situation, home life, addiction, etc. We barely can behave with people of our own caliber and then you wanna throw minorities in the mix? No shot.

Stop giving him money. That's the key to every problem.
Now we need to get NASA and the DOD to stop giving him money too.
are there any other viable domestic rocket companies that launch as often as SpaceX does?
Operation Paperclip is calling from inside the house.
But he already had all the money the moment he was born
He had peanuts compared to what he has now
Exactly. In just a few thousand years, he'll run out of money as long as he keeps buying yachts every day.
But no, seriously, if we want him to be less relevant it's pretty simple. Stop going to Twitter (fuck x, i won't call it that ever) don't buy tesla, and lobby against SpaceX. At least, until Elon has no control (edit: and financial benefit) over any of those.
If only he didn't already have enough to last him several thousand lifetimes.. 🙄🤦♀️
