Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Everyone needs to chill out about this ear thing. It's amazing what can be covered with a little bit of makeup. As much as I detest the man, I can see why he wouldn't want to walk around with a visible ear cut. Women cover zits and blemishes with makeup as a matter of course. Do you think the orange douchewipe wants the focus on his ear? All presidents (and "presidents") have makeup up people, and their job is to cover this kind of shit up and make the person look as flawless as possible.

Let's leave the conspiracy theories to the conservatards.

I mean, yeah, I kinda do. I expected him to milk the assassination attempt for all it's worth, and I don't think that makes me a conspiracy theorist.

Some campaign adviser told him that a damaged ear presents as damaged goods, and it would be better to cover it. This is a man so concerned about his looks that he spray paints his face orange. His narcissism elevates the priority of his looks beyond any perceived sympathy (sympathy being a foreign concept to him). Even his rabid base depict him in their artwork as having a six pack abs. He is absolutely covering it up. If the blood was a prop then even his dumb handlers would be smart enough to apply a fake scab to keep the ruse going.

You're right, I'm trying to apply logic and reason to Donald Trump, which is just silly of me

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 months ago

Knowing how Trump has played up his assassination attempt at every opportunity.... He absolutely would want to bring attention to any damage to his ear.

I don't really care one way or another about whatever drama is going on about his ear. I'm just saying, I don't think he'd choose to use makeup to cover up any scars on his ear.

It’s amazing what can be covered with a little bit of makeup.

Because Trump is known for using a "little bit" of makeup. If he was using makeup on his ear, it would be to make it look worse, not to cover it up.

It's been a long time since trump ever did his own makeup. He thinks the orange makes him look good, or maybe he even thinks it's just his brand now. A blemished ear does not look good, even in the opinion of a man who thinks oranging his face rocks.

Except that he's trying to play up the shot he took. It's why his buddy Elon is making unpersons of people who show that his ear is fine.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

I’d believe you if he hasn’t been over the top with his theatrics around this.

Dude was wearing a pice of gauze the size of his ear just a week ago.

Based ... if it weren't that the fact that accounts getting banned for simply alluding to it is very real. The whole drama may be bullshit, but accounts getting banned for this isn't. It is partisan censorship inside a major social network just using the drama as an excuse.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Men cover facial blemishes as well.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah, and the dude got plenty of experience with makeup.

Makeup is a waste of time and money.
