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!

Dipshit Musk never advanced mentally and emotionally past the age of 17.

Daddy's emerald money can't buy maturity, so what good is it?

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Emerald slave money

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

17 is far too old. I'm not being facetious. His tweets regularly seem like something a pre-pubescent girl would post.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

“I am 12 and this is very deep” vibes for most of them.

Edit: Sorry that was confusing.

[–] killingspark@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

I'm 27 and that comment didn't make any sense to me. The oldening has officially begun

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Should've bought livejournal instead of Twitter.

[–] BillDaCatt@lemmy.world 150 points 1 month ago (4 children)

So instead of laughing and letting it go, Musk makes sure everyone knows he is a dipshit.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 49 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Imagine being the richest person in the world and still being this fragile.

He's a special little snowflake

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I mean, this dipshit had to go and buy Xitter. That's how fragile he is.

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

For a meme clown, Dipshit Musk should respect the Streisand effect a bit more.

[–] MrShankles@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

First I've heard of this. "Better to keep your mouth shut and seem stupid — rather than open it and remove all doubt". Elon really is a massive dipshit

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

And his puppet army going full steam to sooth Elon's bruised ego

[–] droopy4096@lemmy.ca 130 points 1 month ago (3 children)

time to make it stick. from now on I shall reference Musk as Dipsh*** Musk.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 month ago

Elongated Dipshit

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 14 points 1 month ago

Ol' Dipshit Muskrat.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'd been using that name already actually

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 105 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Musk knows that his name and Dipshit are linked forever, and we are all here for it.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

testing.... ddg for 'dipshit':

while the malformed moron didn't make the top result, he did make the middle of the first page already, and was the top result that was not a dictionary or wiki type of site.

[–] Zer0_F0x@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's at the bottom of Google's first page too

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago

So are all actual search results though

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 79 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

walz said musk looked like a skipping dipshit, not that he was one.

"...jumping around, skipping like a dipshit"

"elon is a dipshit"
"elon looked like a dipshit"

while both are true, they mean two different things.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

Yeah. He looks like one until he opens his mouth and then proves it... regularly

[–] killingspark@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

Well if it is skipping like a dipshit, talks like a dipshit, looks like a dipshit....

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, they are different. One implies and the other states a fact.

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 71 points 1 month ago

Aw, snowflake got triggered.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago
[–] ctkatz@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 month ago

these people are all a galaxy wide and a half micron deep. just brush them lightly and they bleed profusely.

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 45 points 1 month ago

Elongated Dipshit got his fee fees hurt

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 34 points 1 month ago

Massive dipshit indeed.

[–] moitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 month ago

That's a dipshit move.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

If the shit fits...

[–] beansbeansbeans@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

I have nothing to say other than Elon is a dipshit. Pass it on.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the first domestic action after the elections, trial Elon

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, democrats are very hard on rich people. We all know that.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

eh...well at least he will shut up for a couple months hopefully (probably after trying to incite a riot and calling elections rigged for a couple weeks)

Skippity Toilet.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It's been more than a day now and thinking about Walz deliver that line about Elon the dumbass still makes me laugh. And I still cannot unsee the Red Foreman comparison....hahahaha.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

"You can't use insults against us, only we can!" basically. I'd complain about this normalizing a new low if Trump wasn't sinking way past insurrection this time around.
