Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

As a Pole: Its funny to see hoe people in Poland is viewed by other countries vs how its actually viewed.
- Soon government starts program of subsidizing buying new EVs. Teslas are not excluded. Its basically poor financing rich's new cars.

- Main opposition party demands deposition from minister who made unfortunate slip of the tounge and didnt immediately correct herself on international conference on 80th anniversary of liberating of the largest concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. "In the territory occupied by Germany, Polish Nazis built camps that were labor camps, which later became mass extermination camps."
Just ban Tesla, X and everything else owned by Elon Musk
Just ban Musk
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
And those who do, are condemned to watch the rest of them repeat it. :(
Those who do remember the past intentionally repeat it because they are fucking Nazis.
The only way for Germany to move past its Nazi history is not to forget it but to learn from it. For Germany to truly move past its guilt it must:
- Ban the AfD (they're in the process) and ensure Europe is free of fascists
- Guide Europe toward a bright free future (they are doing this)
- Protect Europe from its threats and ensure no nation will ever devisate it again (they're in the process, hopefully they can establish a federal European military)
- Not elect the conservative party who are starting to take up most of the AfD's program and sabotage points 1 through 3 (they're failing catastrophically when looking at polls)
They need to have their leadership banned
I think you mean shot and fed to the wolves.
That too
Fascists will never ever be not guilty
The Swedish strike is still ongoing. The German protest against their factory is still ongoing. The cyber truck can never be approved for use on roads in all of Europe. Every fourth Tesla fails the first EU-inspection. The average for all cars is 3%, so it's exceptionally bad.
I don't think a boycott is even necessary. There are enough reasons not to buy a Tesla.
It might not be necessary to stop him from selling cars in the EU, but the symbolism of it would be fantastic.
There are soooooo many teslas and cyberfucks in the US. It's horrible
TBF, half the cyberfucks I see are broken down
They are surving ok here in SoCal but if the rainy season hits hard enough my 24 year old 3 cylinder Tacoma is gonna be out driving them here soon.
I laughed out the window of my Honda Fit at one that had broken down in -5F weather
Why would you drive an electric car in -5F weather? Thats just asking for issues, battery drain alone will cause problems add on the cybertrucks shitty build everything and you are mooning fate.
Because you need to drive somewhere and your car is electric? Come weather makes me that I got a plug-in hybrid rather than a full electric, though.
I was moreso referring to the cybertruck, the power drain issue could be worked around with preparation such as a heated garage, a battery heater, or just knowing its limits in such an environment. The cybertruck isnt even particularly good against warm weather let alone sub zero environments.
Every fourth Tesla fails the first EU-inspection. The average for all cars is 3%, so it's exceptionally bad.
I also wouldn't buy a car from that freak for various reasons but that high failure rate at the first inspection can be at least partly explained. Tesla - unlike most manufacturers - doesn't do regular inspections on their own. Most cars are checked (and repaired!) by the dealership before they get officially checked. Therefore, the 25% aren't completely comparable to the 3%.
That makes about as much sense as shipping their vehicles without paint. Oh wait...
Top tip: if you want your local cybertruck off the road. E scooters can total them by denting the impossible to repair body panels.
Interesting, so they are externalizing QA to dealerships? Do they own the dealerships?

As an aside, I love the irony of that speech. Musk tells the wannabe Nazis that they can forget about the sins of their (great)grandparents.
The idiots of the AFD want to forget the past simply so they can repeat it.
They want to repeat the sins of their forefathers, they just don't want to be reminded of the consequences that followed.
I somewhat disagree. They don't want to forget, they want to finish the job. They have immense pride in something they should feel shame for. That, I think, is the issue. The unwillingness to feel shame, so they replace that feeling with over-zealous pride.
Still grandparents in a lot of cases. I’m 40 and my grandfather fought the Japanese in WWII.
Plenty of people left on this planet who had grandparents on every side of that war.
Or maybe your parentheses was meant to cover both.
Yeah it was.
Fuck it. I typed it. Maybe some other idiot will read it wrong.
i am that idiot <3
Hey, hey. We can start a club!

He wants them to put aside their past guilt so they can focus on the hypothetical future guilt
I had the same question with Trump copying so many of his political plays from 1930s Germany… does he… does he know how the story ended?
He thinks Hitlers generals were loyal so... Nope. Seriously even the Wehrmacht foot soldiers turned on the Nazis in the end openly attacking the SS.

it's only been 80 years, these motherfuckers can't get over the US civil war after 160 years.
Any democratic society should boycott Tesla until Musk is removed from the company.
And also spacex
Alternatives to spacex are Roskosmos and NASA, which buys engines from first two.
Deposed?
Divests from.. him being investee in a company should disqualify it.
Doesn't matter, he owns the stock and gets rich anyway.
The EU should impose a continent-wide ban on Tesla imports (or steep tariffs eh? Why not copy the orange peel) until Tesla offloads Musk - including buying back his shares.
The EU should prepare for a trade war, but it shouldn’t take the first shot.
In this instance, this isn't a trade war, it's a war against neo-Nazism. Imposing tarrifs specifically on Tesla wouldn't be about helping European car manufacturer, it would be about extinguishing Musk's rhetoric.
