Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

They're actively looking to replace him....

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago

We know. Everyone knows. Now he does, too.

Aww, did Elmo not get the memo about how Tesla are planning to DOGE his sorry ass? Did he only discover it via the media? Now he knows how all those federal employees feel! Not that he's capable of empathy or life lessons.

Keep in mind the Tesla board is filled with sycophants and close friends/family type of people. If they're looking and he didn't know, that's a pretty deep betrayal from his perspective.

To quote a genius billionaire regarding a time of immense hardship due to receiving abrupt bad news,

"CHAINSAW! YaAaAgHhH!"

I'm sure that somebody's heart goes out to him. He seems to have quite a bit of the Nat-C party standing behind him.

Stop, please, I can only get so erect

He's triggered so it must be true

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago

On the other hand, IIRC the board are all friends/family of his. That's why he got that ridiculous pay package he got sued over in Delaware court.

Looks like he's digging into his Copium supply. It's over for him.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Is “copium” an alternative spelling of “ketamine”?

All of his friends: Yeah don't invite him to the party.

Musk: There was no party. I am well liked.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

All of his "friends": Didn't we force you out of PayPal too? For being an idiot trying to destroy the company.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

David Duke: Hey pal, I'm having a party! Wanna come over? 👻

Musk: 🤠 I am well liked.

By “leaking” this info that they’re shopping for a new CEO, and even Elon’s denial, they’re just gaming the stock. Probably to give the wealthier holders a chance to recoup some of their losses.

The rich own the media. The media affects the markets. They’re playing with us like checkers pieces…

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I say let him stay on as CEO. He’s done a lovely job of running it straight into the ground.

[–] PeteZa@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the Tesla board ousts Musk, I still wouldn’t give them a single red cent. The fact remains that they have enabled Musk all this time.

[–] gencha@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

His stock manipulation game certainly has changed lately
