Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
I miss not knowing who the world's richest person is.
This timeline sucks, but it could get really funny.
I think it's very important to know your enemies
More or less agree, but the Musk persona is getting so disproportionately well known compared to other billionaires that he's gonna start redirecting a lot of people to hate him personally rather than his entire class.
doubled edged sword. his sheer stumbling brute-force not subtle way of doing things is also tearing and setting fire to the curtain that used to conceal the true power behind liberal democracy
so yeah you'll have plenty of ideological libs looking at musk as a problem to be solved to save capitalism. but other, less ideologically committed and politically unactivated may see him as part of the ecosystem of
those are the people we need to pay attention to and be there to educate
That's true, but sometimes, I crave not having this specific billionaire in the news every day.
It's kinda nice though that he won't be believably mythologized like Edison, or even Steve Jobs at this rate.
You probably don't. It's very likely King Charles, or somebody in the Saud family. Or one many hereditary banking families that have spanned centuries. Their exemption from public disclosure laws serves many purposes—obfuscating their obscene wealth is one of them.
You're right. It's just really annoying that they're flexing on us at this point. I think I'll read theory tonight.
