Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
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.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Elon Musk would still own an enormous portion of Tesla, so if you want Elon to be punished you should never forgive Tesla for enabling Musk
Meh. The only possible reason to keep accumulating after a billion is for respect and power. I'm pretty sure Elon has fucked up both to the point where most of his money gets him nothing. I'm pretty sure he is headed to a "death of despair" type ending before long.
I want you to be right, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
Basically we're all just waiting for him to die of a ketamine overdose.
It's pretty hard to OD on ketamine unless you've got someone literally injecting your unconscious, k-holed body. There's a reason why they use it as anesthesia for children, it's extremely well tolerated.
Looking forward to him being found face down in a hot tub
I feel so bad for him
Don’t despair Muskquito, people make new friends all the time, even entirely unlikable video game cheaters. There is a nonzero chance you might not die entirely alone. Don’t let the haters following logical trajectories get you down!
He can at the very least commiserate with Billy Mitchell.
As of February 28, 2025, Elon Musk owns approximately 12.8% of Tesla.
12.8% is not an enormous portion. It's shocking how easily people spread misinformation.
He owns over 410 million shares and is the largest single shareholder. That is an enormous amount
It's under 13% so while he's the largest single owner, he still doesn't own an enormous amount. He could easily be bought out.
13% is the threshold for "an enormous amount"?
For a publicly traded company? Yes that's an enormous amount in that context.
Isn't it?
I don't know what the threshold would be.. but it would have to be over 50%. If I own 13% of my house, I wouldn't say I own an enormous amount. I would I own 1/8th my house, which is pretty meagre.
Your house isn't a publicly traded company. That makes a big difference in this context.
Only if you really want it to be different is it different. The reality is, it's not. Words have meaning and 1/8th is not enormous. It's literally a small fraction of the total.
You don't think context matters?
In a bar, 13% of guests openly wear nazi clothes, with swastikas and German military emblems.
Is it a nazi bar?
It's a 100% Nazi bar. If you've got a bar that allows one openly Nazi patron, then you've got a 100% Nazi bar.
Godwin's law strikes again.
Maybe it's because Mr. Controversial Gesture, alias Sir The Nazis Were Actually Leftists aka Dr. Only The AfD Can Save Germany rivals only Ford in his open support of fasism? You know, Henry Ford, the guy Adolf Hitler called "a great man"?
