A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

"We'll coup whoever we want! Deal with it!" - actual Elon quote.
I'd imagine there are many ways people might "deal with it", unfortunately for him.
I call for dissolution of Elon Musk
Musk on foreign leaders admonishing Trump
Foreign interference!
Musk when directly interfering with foreign governments
This is totally fine.
Aren't you supposed to be meddling with my country's politics, Musky? Some reason you're afraid to do it in public right now?
Somebody needs to arrest that fuckhead and stick him in the deepest hole they have, take all his money, and properties to teach him to keep his grubby paws out of politics
Yay, it’s UK’s turn to babysit this psycho.
And how many wounded officers?
Did he misplace his bullet-absorbing children in a ketamine haze and ran off to be a cunt somewhere safer while the violence he helped foment runs its course at home?
his human shield was only ever useful when luigi was being talked about in the news early on. he discarded the shield as soon as the news died down.
lol this guy is such a chode
We need a dissolution of billionaires.
In acid, perhaps.
or Purged like in rick and morty.
Who is letting that asshole into their country?
He joined via a video link, I'm not sure if he was even in the UK.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if he joined via video not because he couldn't physically be there, rather because he's scared of being attacked.
Could well be he couldn't go himself because all his ~~human shields~~ kids had playdates pre-scheduled. Who knows.
Is he just trying to see how much chaos and hate he can sow?
If you dissolve parliament, does the country go back to the monarchy?
No, I don’t think so.
Also, I think that would be worse.
This man needs to have his wealth confiscated for global security. Send him to the nuthouse and throw away the key or maybe we’ll get lucky and he will get kirked by another more extreme Nazi
Yeah, if he could stay the fuck out of the internal affairs of other countries for 5 seconds, that would be great.
Maybe he did not get the memo
Why are people dumb enough to listen to the words of a man like this.
Too bad someone hasn’t kirked him.
Kirk Musk
Does this motherfucker just go on disinformation tours, with shows in every country?
ketamine tours actually. he only functions if hes on ketamine.
The rich have simply too much money.
Definitely was not a nAzi salute a developer definitely not a filthy rich white extremist twat. (sarcasm)
You know that thing where you say or see a word too often and it starts to sound/look weird?
"Woke mind virus" was already like that the first time I ever saw it, and now it sounds like it could be a band name or title of an anime.
