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!

Summary

Elon Musk called for arrests after posting a video on X showing a confrontation between women and a Tesla Cybertruck driver.

In the video, a woman pointed at the vehicle, prompting the driver to yell threats while the crowd chanted "Shame!"

Another woman called the driver a Nazi.

Musk claimed the incident was part of broader attacks and urged authorities to arrest those funding such actions, saying targeting only “puppets and paid foot-soldiers” would not stop the violence.

I am still waiting on my soros bux for hating on trump in 2016

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

That's right. Setting fire to Teslas is OK so long as you do it for free!

Idk about you, but I had the best first IRL interaction. I love an a small town and had one pull up to me at a stop light. I immediately started belly laughing, and my shit carries even when I don't intend it. Heard some sort of quick beep almost immediately when I started. I hope I see myself online someday.

Good job editing the part of your comment where you called me a liar.

What kind of lameass story is that?

Quit screwing around and flip them off like a proper adult.

Naw this actually happened I assure you. Pretty sure I still got the dash cam footage, but you're just going to hear the laughter and beep.

But you know, good job sounding like a dick. You must be a blast at social gatherings.

Edit for the cynics https://youtu.be/fmLx5S5GUJc

Why would I lie about something like this?

Oh shit OP delivered guys.

It had some kind of siren/PA or something and honked at you because you laughed at it? Now that I've seen video evidence that's actually so on brand for a Musk fanboy.

Yeah, I watched it after posting and figured out it was the cop probably giving him a compliment. If you keep watching you see a sheriff in the far right lane two lights later. But I only had my driver side windows down so it reflected off the side of the cyber truck.

On, it just finding a sub that accepts videos
