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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.

That's all the rules!

Here's the most important bit I think:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) advanced a proposal last week to force advertisers to disclose the use of AI in advertisements on television and radio. The use of mimic voices is already banned for use in robocalls.

“Bad actors are already using AI technology in robocalls to mislead consumers and misinform the public. That’s why we want to put in place rules that empower consumers to avoid this junk and make informed decisions,” FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said earlier this month.

The FCC proposal would not apply to ads and video online and on streaming services, including the video shared by Musk.

It will be fun to see how next generation of liberal leaning car buyers will view Tesla brand

I considered one for a while before he revealed himself to be a racist, fascist, man-child.
Now I'll never own one, I've been looking into the Hyundai EVs and honestly they seem much more reasonably priced anyway.

Their profits dropped by half last quarter.

The future is now!

We were honestly considering one, but my wife sited the lack of charging stations if we go on extended trips during vacation, and we both think he's an unmitigated asshole and refuse to buy anything associated with him.

Considering the number of reports that they are garbage, I think we dodged a bullet, lol.

We got a Honda CRV Hybrid and couldn't be happier. Next one is going to be totally electric but not a Tesla

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Ditto. For my next car I went from why not a Tesla to anything but a Tesla.

No, my house was on fire and now I'm homeless. I'm willing to bet absolutely nothing happens to him

Nothing short of hard financial and/or legal ramifications will stifle this kind of election interference. If it's not stopped now, it will take root and fester.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Is election interference not a crime in the US?

How in the fuck has the board of every company he's on not removed his ass by now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because the board is his family and Rupert Murdoch's son.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

... He has family left that hasn't thoroughly distanced themselves from him??

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Anyone who's still by his side knows who he is and likes it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Or is playing him, though at bestt said folks are practically indistinguishable until they start backstabbing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah. His brother is on the board and is also a shitheel.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Haha. Takes fire. Careful Elon, you’re not Iron, man.
