Won't be just France. I wonder how the stock is going to take this, being the meme that it is.

  Up, surely. By executive order if need be.

  This will be good for Tesla.

That was one really expensive 'Roman' salute ...

  It was two salutes: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/20/trump-elon-musk-salute https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/20/trump-elo... So really it only cost half as much. What a bargain!

      You're rationalizing his fascist salutes. Can you also rationalize these lies by Musk: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42902603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42902603

        It's a nazi salute, not fascist. Obviously he's not a nazi. To be considered fascist he would take over control of gov. Instead he's removing it... What starts to become obvious to me is people use "fascist" as a derogatory insult without understanding what it means.

        > It's a nazi salute, not fascist. Obviously he's not a nazi. So.. it's obvious that he's not a Nazi because he performs Nazi salutes. Fascist salute, Nazi salute, Roman salute. It's all the same thing. It's all the trappings of fascism. > To be considered fascist he would take over control of gov. Instead he's removing it... This is absurdity. And the lies? You haven't rationalized those yet.

        So everyone not good at gaming is a nazi? FSD was my pet peeve, but at least we are now seeing something so good that I actually wanna buy and use, albeit for little less money (obviously in supervised mode, I don't wanna use my car as a fucking taxi). > He lies about Cybertruck quarter mile times Still extremely impressive truck even if it lost by 0.1s to a just as dorky looking tiny car for 3x money. Do you actually believe every ad you see? > He enjoys and promotes conspiracy theories Yes that sucks, wish there was a Elon feed where it's actually only his technology tweets. I hate what x turned into, but reddit and bsky is just as an unbearable shit show. > He dabbles in antisemitism Sorry but this not antisemitism > He stokes partisan division over the Los Angeles fires IDK wtf was that, but he gone suspiciously quiet pretty quick.
