Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I suspect Elmo thinks he's being Very Clever by using your woke empathy mind virus against you. Jokes on him, though, he's burned through any good will the empathetic might have once had long, long ago.
Only empathy for ME is okay!
He's such a cry baby. Last month he was calling empathy a western weakness, and dancing around with a chainsaw on a stage with glee about all the people he had fired and was going to fire. But oh, someone laughs at his stock going down, and that's evil?
Chill the F out there princess.
Tim Walz is awesome. I'm liking him more and more as time passes.
Awesome endorsement from the Muskrat
Musk has a very different definition of 'evil' than I and many others do.
Oh, come now. You probably think evil is stealing money from elderly and children or something like that. How very medieval of you. The modern definition of evil is much more nuanced and allows for the needs of the uber-wealthy to be met without the baggage of having to feel guilty about causing the suffering of the helpless.
I'd feel sorry for Elon IF his losses weren't entirely perpetuated by his own immoral actions.
You want to be a fascist doing Nazi salutes and repeating Nazi rhetoric? - then don't be surprised when people don't want to associate you or your products.
Not that it matter, because he'll survive off the back of SpaceX - which of course is not on DOGE's radar.
From the guy gleefully gutting the financial lives of millions of Americans and freezing their social mobility. Cry me a river.
I, too, am feeding off the schadenfreude.
This is a link to the article with no paywall.
It is very easy, just make an archived cope of the page you want to share on archive.ph and share that link.
This way we both save copies of articles that the fascists might want deleted in the future, plus we can share the news with all people, not just the ones with money.
We would recommend sharing the paywalled link as the primary url and archive either in the comments or in description if an archive link is desired.
Is he not the richest person in the world?
Not if things keep trending the way they are for him
That's what the text of the article says.
But for some reason the clip that they put with it is Elon talking about birth rates.
The text in the title of the clip matches the article text, but the content doesn't.
The thumbnail for this post is from the birthrate clip.
