Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

It's crazy how a few years ago Zuck seemed like the worst tech billionaire CEO ridiculed by his users, but Musk truly managed to take this title and surpass him to become the most hated man on the internet. He needs help
Zuck is evil, but he doesn't seem to be stupid.
Elon on the other hand..
Exactly. Zuckerberg is just an immoral fuckface. Musk is malicious and incompetent.
He wrote the first iteration of Facebook in PHP. The Musk of programming languages.
Why do people have beef with PHP? It's just a programming language for crying out loud
Yeah PHP's parents never owned an emerald mine.
There was this brief, beautiful moment when Musk seemed respectable. He was into renewables, and electrification, and investing in space. It sounded great. And then he opened his fucking mouth and just hasn't shut it since. Once he started talking, everyone else started noticing and publishing all the terrible shit that was there all along but no one either knew or cared about until then.
Twitter killed (the image of) Elon, and now Elon is dragging Twitter to the grave with him.
At least i can respect Zuck. Hes the evil guy and hes good at it. Musk is just an idiot.
Have we already forgotten the whole Metaverse initiative? That was plenty stupid.
True but maybe he wanted an evil empire. Idk what these guys do in their free time.
Definitely agree on him needing help. His behaviour isn't normal, considering his behaviour even 5 years prior. Musk 10 years ago was probably still an idiot, but a private idiot and less of a man-child than today.
Stupid question, but is there some law in the US where someone can be detained for mental health reasons, to be evaluated to see if they pose a risk to themselves or others? Perhaps someone close to him should check that everything is fine, and if not, get him away from the half dozen companies he seems to be running into the ground.
Hated mostly by the left. Among normal people he is innovative and well respected
From where you're standing, everyone is left.
How so
Today people that praise Elon Musk are often far-right reactionaries, or at the least very much not of the 'left' on the political spectrum.
Like the totally normal shooter whose Twitter account views were more than half dedicated to musk... Along with literally every right wing extremist for the other half. Also America has no left.
Have no idea what you mean, please cite reliable sources
The recent mass shooter in Maine liked and shared posts by Elon Musk. https://crimedoor.com/articles/robert-cards-twitter-feed-under-scrutiny-for-clues/
Yeah, right. As if you respect reliable sources. Prove it by giving sources for "normal people respect" him.
I don't care to put in that much effort for a guy that can't understand why his kids hate him or the shooter that worshipped him. You can probably find it by searching for: Elon scrubbed shooter Twitter/x account, but I honestly doubt you care beyond finding some way to continue to simp or white knight for ya Xdaddy.
If you still respect Elon Musk after every obvious display of stupidity and incompetence he's shown, I think that says a lot about how willing people are to kiss the ass of billionaires on the right, and that's just sad. Musk doesn't give a fuck about you.
Please give specific examples, cite sources
Username doesn't quite check out
Edit: Want an example? Just scroll to the top of this thread and you'll find one. Need something bigger and more concrete? Try justifying the whole blue checkmark ordeal.
Check out his profile. He's a walking MAGA meme.
Oh dear... and his instance just allows that?
Is there a problem with that?
Yeah, your supporting a traitor that should be behind bars for life not running for president of the US
The famous interaction in which he publicly slandered and mocked a disabled employee on Twitter.
Hated mostly by people who actually think for themselves, and don’t mindlessly worship the rich.
Prove me wrong.
Normal people lmao
Yes.
Well, eh, not really.
Who is a specific normal person that has written anything praising Elon Musk? He is respected by some but I am concerned by what you would define as a normal person.
