Elons character arc from a PR point of view is really interesting.

At one point I bet many of his current followers were loudly critical of him for Tesla disrupting the ICE vehicle industry. At that point he was seen as much more progressive.

But his mask has now been removed to show the opportunistic business man he is with very little moral standards. Becoming the enemy of many that had previously fallen for his PR, including me.

In my head he really seems like a comic book character.

My comment specifically states that killing him wasn’t the optimal solution here, so I can’t see how that’s your intrepretation of it.

That’s my interpretation of it because you’re basically saying that because he was breaking the law (maybe you’re saying that it’s because he was breaking specific laws), it’s justified that he was shot and killed.

Whether you want to pussyfoot around the distinction between him deserving it and it being justified is beside the point from my perspective because I don’t believe he did deserve it or that it was justified.

Seems like we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Neither the article, or anything mentioned in these comments is claiming the victim’s ‘innocence’. They are however making the point that EVEN if you do all of those things you shouldn’t expect to be shot and killed.

Your comment sounds equivalent of claiming girls that dress provocatively deserve to be raped. It just isn’t the point. The point is that he should not have been killed.

I respect that dad’s haircut. Accepted reality and keeping things neat. Strong man.

Yeah mixture of both, wouldn’t you agree?

Sometimes you can get far by just being lucky.

Sometimes you can get far by just working hard.

You’re most likely to get far by working hard and being lucky.

You can still not get anywhere even when you work hard.

Strong economies create more opportunities which means your luck factor doesn’t have to be as high.

Meaning the last 6 years of his career there were on starfield, which he wasn’t a manager of, if he quit 3 years ago.

This feels like a standard toxic gaming community thread where dismissing someone’s achievements is for some reason fair game.

Dude held a job at a huge publisher for 14 years, then quit and developed his own thing.

Good on him!

Very not negative for me with 50ish up and 7down.

I wonder what’s happening…

Coming up as 3 downvotes on my client. I wouldn’t say that’s 'so many Lemmy users ’ or am I missing something?

Makes sense that there would be some nerves involved then. Even if you’re not feeling them consciously. I’m sure there’s a risk to dating someone you’ve built such a good friendship with.

Good on you for going for it!

Nice. I imagine you have been looking forward to dating a lot?

You’ve known each other for 3 years? Wow that’s cool! How long did you know you liked her?

It’s like the US and Russia’s new competition is who can be more authoritarian.

Does nobody have usb to usbc cables?

Sucks for those who genuinely can’t have it though, and rely on herd immunity

Huh… So you’re telling me ring if fire isn’t just from octonauts?

I’m downvoting, but this still makes more sense than the post did.

Am I not thinking properly yet or is it weird that northern hemisphere summer makes the world so much warmer than southern hemisphere summer?

Is it just because these measurements are taken on land and there’s more land mass in the northern hemisphere?

Do you know if this is at the chrome or chromium level?

There are many people in a government, and different people pull in different directions.

Regardless of other policies, this is a step in the right direction.

I guess this is more motivation for that offensive in Russia.

If you think the couches are big in the US, just think what Putin is cushing up to each night…
