Oooooo. Wow ppl really just gonna hate everything he touches eh?

Remind me why. Is it mainly because of his attempt to reduce government spending, his views on trans, his Asperger’s, or his odd approach to reproducing with women?

SpaceX has 10k employees that aren’t Elon ya know.

Him being a nazi pedophile is probably what most people take issue with.

Yes I understand that’s the party line. I was hoping for something more concrete but now it feels like this is being answered in bad faith so we can shut it down

What party line? It's the truth? He's in the Epstein files begging to go "party" on the island. He hit multiple nazi salutes on camera. It's not a line it's a statement of fact Elon Musk is a nazi pedophile.

Bad faith is when people point out my idol is fucking evil.

I genuinely saw the man making a hand gesture out to all the people. I didn’t see, nor have I even seen, any sign or symptom that he’s actually a Nazi.

The pedo thing, eh that’s pretty inconclusive that he was touching underage women because he asked to go to a party imo. I prefer a bit more damning evidence.

The man isn’t my idol. I hate a lot of his personal life and the way he appears to treat woman.

I truly am thinking independently, and I understand that your view on the world is different. Is this all it takes for you to say pedo Nazi or is there more?

I was hoping you were genuinely concerned about the most effective and equitable solution to get such an important utility to as many people as possible but clearly you're just here to defend the weird billionaire

I am concerned. I didn’t bring up billionaire. I just wonder why we damn a whole company of 10k ppl doing cool science shit because we don’t like the CEO.

I don't think you can call something that can be shut down by a single company "global internet"

I have problems with the satellites sure, but fundamentally the whole premise is flawed.

Also spacex isn't exactly doing great ok engineering compared to ULA and other industry leaders. Feels a bit weird to put them on a pedestal.

Because the product those 10k built is polluting space, is a tool for US imperialism (see Ukraine and Iran) and inefficient at that

He's a white supremacist who grew up in apartheid South Africa, comes from a family of racists (look up his grandfather, Elon is doing everything he can to carry on his legacy), and regularly promotes racist conspiracy theories. If you genuinely haven't seen any signs that he's a Nazi then you haven't been fucking paying attention.

Please just go back to Reddit. You're just here to try to wreck this community, and we all know it.

I’m sorry you feel this way. I haven’t been on reddit in years. I’ll limit or block Lemmy.ml, tension high af in here. Clearly I wandered into an echo chamber I don’t belong in!

It's not that you don't belong, it's that you engage in rhetorical strategies that are emotionally abusive while writing apologia for nazis.

It's just the paradox of tolerance. If we tolerate Nazi apologia, that's all the site will become (just like Twitter). If I were a mod, your comments defending musk's Nazi salute would be deleted and you would be permanently banned, but I'm not a mod. So, I'm asking nicely.

I already see this is going to be a fruitless discussion with those proposed discussion points. "His attempt to reduce government spending" 🤣 "attempt".

He didn't do anything to reduce government spending other than dismantling agencies investigating him for malfeasance. That was a lazy cover to steal government data while simultaneously destroying any accountability for his crimes.

He never stood a chance, he was untrusted by half the country.

He dug his grave himself. Zero sympathy.

I’m using it as part of a question, asking if it’s his socially awkward behavior that makes him disliked. That’s all. That’s what I wrote. No need to rip your britches.
