2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

He cannot and will not speak against his voter base and he knows it. He knows damn well what was said- it would be near impossible for him NOT to know.
Fucking liar.
I have no idea what the comment was even though I’m up to speed in general on the backlash. Difference is that I’m already convinced Elon is a bigoted prick so I never felt a need to check? I’m not sure that makes me any better to be honest. For all I know it was something mundane and taken out of context, I just don’t think that’s very likely and even if it was I already think he’s absolute scum for enough other bs he’s said and done.
The first one in this specific instance, is that someone said “Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”
Musk replied with “You have said the actual truth”
The second one in this specific instance is that someone else said “Everyone is allowed to be proud of their race, except for white people, because we’ve been brainwashed into believing that our history was some how ‘worse’ than other races."
Musk replied with “Yeah, this is super messed up. Time for this nonsense to end and shame ANYONE who perpetuates these lies!”
Both of these are a little dog whistle-ly, and I could see someone who hasn't been in the corners of the internet, or has never heard of things like "straight pride month" not hearing what's actually being said.
Wow, it’s incredible to me how much hatred that asshole spews. It would be sad if it wasn’t so destructive. He couldn’t be punching down from any higher of a perch than he sits atop. What a miserable and pathetic way to live.
