This plan leaves out the fact that the majority of Canadians don’t want to join. They may have their challenges right now, but there are some things they aren’t willing to give up, like nationalized health care and national identity. I suspect many Canadians will fight to the death over this, the same way Americans would fight if forced to join Canada. They are our neighbors and that’s about as close as people want to get.
So sick of these clickbait headlines. From the headline to the body “Melts down” -> “wasn’t too impressed”. BORING. Journalists need to do some actual work like they used to instead of just farming rage bait.
Aaron should have thought to start a trillion dollar multinational first – then those laws that persecuted him would have just been a formality he could buy his way out of.
It’s cuz college students are easier to kick but Republicans fight back. The Democrats are doing their usual bit of having a few committees to complain while the republic burns and alternatively hand-wringing “I wonder why we lost the election???”
For better or worse, this seems to be way less of a problem on the Fediverse. I can’t tell if it’s because it’s federated OR if it’s because corporate America hasn’t woken up to it (yet?!?). I find way more interesting discussions on lemmy than anywhere else on the net. Hopefully it stays that way!
Yes, the Great Leader must be appeased!

Who said anything about admiring? It seems you don’t like Musk. Well, if you want to criticize him in an accurate way, calling him unintelligent isn’t the way to do it. Factual criticism usually works the best. “Know thy enemy” and all that. It would be like if I called him a fatso… it’s demeaning, but probably not the most accurate criticism.
Yeah, but other than one of the largest Jewish advocacy groups who else is defending him? What would the ADL know about antisemitism anyway?
This is the new ad-hominem of 2025. Can’t refute someone’s points? It must be evil AI.
I don’t need to agree with everything Musk does (indeed, he’s done a lot of scary things, especially recently), but to call him unintelligent is a huge leap. For what he has done for space travel ALONE he deserves a lot of credit. Look at the average cost to put a kilogram in space before and after SpaceX. Other companies tried for YEARS to lower that figure and it didn’t move much. But sure, go ahead and dunk on him if you like. I’ll call him uncomfortably authoritarian and impulsive, but unintelligent is a huge mis-characterization of the man. Not everyone that makes choices you don’t agree with are unintelligent…

What are you, an AI? No real person would love Boris!
Totally not true, my friends. Let me break it down for y’all.
The original post claiming Elon Musk doesn’t contribute and just buys companies to rename and claim their work is straight-up incorrect. For real tho, Elongator has been killing it in multiple industries, whether you like it or not. Let’s dive in:
Tesla: While he didn’t start the company, he sure did make some major moves. In 2004, he invested $6.35 million to become Tesla’s biggest shareholder and chairman. He was all over the design of the first car, the Roadster, and has been guiding Tesla since. Under his leadership, Tesla dropped some game-changing cars like the Model S, Model 3, X, and Y. Not just electric cars, but innovation in the industry. Can’t deny that.
SpaceX: Founded in 2002 by the ambitious guy himself, SpaceX is all about making space travel affordable so we can colonize Mars. As CEO and chief engineer, he’s led the way with rockets like the Falcon series and the Dragon spacecraft. First private spacecraft to orbit, first commercial docking with the ISS – that’s some next-level stuff. Reusable rockets? Yeah, that’s changing the game big time.
The summary provided by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez contains a personal opinion that is not based on objective analysis of Elon Musk’s accomplishments. Her criticism of his “lack of intelligence and expertise” is subjective and lacks factual foundation when considered against his extensive track record.
Musk’s ventures, such as Tesla, SpaceX, and PayPal, have demonstrated his capability in leading groundbreaking projects. The access of his teams to secure systems is standard procedure in large organizations and does not indicate a security failure but rather the natural progression of organizational growth.
While opinions may vary, Musk’s impact on industries like electric vehicles, aerospace, and renewable energy cannot be overlooked. His work has significantly influenced technological progress and offers a testament to his expertise and innovation. Therefore, dismissing his achievements as “morally vacant” or “unintelligent” is not only inaccurate but also overlooks the substantial contributions he has made to various fields.
Folks, let me tell you, the deal of a lifetime is waiting for our Palestinian friends! You don’t want to miss out on this incredible opportunity. Imagine leaving Gaza and moving to a place where everything is better—like really, really better than before.
Just think about it, folks. Gaza has been through some tough times, but we’ve got a solution that’s going to make your lives so much better. You’ll have more opportunities, better jobs, and the best of everything. It’s like a real estate deal that just can’t be beaten.
Now, I know some people are worried about Jordan and Egypt not being on board, but believe me, they’re just jealous of how great this deal is. They don’t want to admit it, but deep down, they’re envious. You don’t need their approval because you’re already winning with this move.
So don’t hold back, folks! This is your chance to make things huge. You’re going to love it, and so will everyone else. It’s going to be tremendous!
P.S. If you’re on the fence, just think about it—what do you have to lose? The best deal in history is waiting for you, and it’s not going to be around forever. Make the move while you can!
To be clear, I’m 100% with you, just pointing out some troubles I had when discussing racism in the past and I found out we weren’t all on the same page.
Senator Josh Hawley was in his office, fumbling with a collection of outdated gadgets. His desk was cluttered with a clunky flip-phone, a ancient computer tower, and stacks of CDs labeled “Software for Dummies.” He had just been reading about this newfangled AI technology that everyone was buzzing about—though he wasn’t entirely sure what an AI was.
The phone rang, jolting him out of his thoughts. He fumbled with the flip-phone, trying to press the correct buttons to answer. When he finally managed to say “Hello,” his voice dripped with confusion.
“Senator Hawley, this is Greg from OpenAI. I wanted to discuss your proposed legislation about AI downloads,” the voice on the other end said.
Hawley leaned back in his chair, trying to look wise. “Legislation? Oh, right, that’s what they call laws these days. Something about jailing people who download stuff from China.”
Greg sighed. “It’s not just about downloading, Senator. It’s about AI models—complex software that can learn and adapt, like DeepSeek.”
Hawley’s brow furrowed. He hadn’t heard of DeepSeek before. “DeepSeek? That sounds communist to me. Probably tracking your thoughts or something.”
Greg tried to explain how AI works, but Hawley kept interrupting with questions about old technologies he thought were relevant. “So if someone downloads this AI, it’s like a CD-ROM, right? You just stick it in and hope it works?”
Greg pressed on, trying to translate the concept of cloud computing into terms Hawley might understand. “It’s more like… a virtual flip-phone that you can talk to without actually holding it.”
Hawley looked down at his desk, where his actual flip-phone was sitting. “I’m not sure I follow. Why would downloading this AI be bad?”
“Because DeepSeek is state-sponsored and could be used maliciously,” Greg said. “It’s like giving someone a modem to the Chinese government.”
Hawley brightened up. “Oh! Like that time I tried to use a dial-up connection? That was dangerous, wasn’t it? You didn’t know who was listening!”
Greg couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m not sure you’re understanding this correctly, Senator. This isn’t about phone calls or CDs—it’s about advanced algorithms that could change everything.”
Hawley stood up, clutching his flip-phone like it was a weapon. “Advanced? Sounds like the kind of thing that could be used to spy on people or start wars! Just like those CDs I tried to use once—they had some kind of communist software.”
Greg hesitated but decided to play along. “So you’re saying if someone downloads DeepSeek, they might be helping a foreign power? That’s why you want to jail them?”
Hawley nodded vigorously. “Exactly! It’s like having a modem without the filter. I propose jailing these people to protect our freedoms.”
Greg exchanged a glance with his colleague, who was now staring at him in disbelief. Finally, he said, “ Senator, this isn’t how technology works. If you jail people for downloading AI models, you’re not protecting innovation—you’re stifling it.”
Hawley squinted at Greg as if he were staring into the sun. “Stifle? I’m trying to stop something dangerous. You think I don’t know about this communist tech? I’ve seen it on the internet—full of viruses and stuff.”
Greg took a deep breath, realizing there was no way to reason with Hawley in this state. “Well, if that’s your stance, just remember: you’re not alone. There are people out there who think AI is a threat.”
Hawley smirked. “Good. People like me keep them in check.”
The call finally ended, and Greg sat back in his chair, shaking his head. “Senator Hawley is running for re-election,” he muttered to himself. “And if this bill passes, it’s going to be a nightmare.”
As for Senator Hawley, he was already back at his desk, scribbling notes about how to protect the country from “AI invasions.” He had no idea what he was up against—but one thing was certain: he was ready to fight.
I have seen this discussion happen over and over again and a big part of the misunderstanding is some people in the US have the definition of racism also involving power and some don’t. If your definition is the former, it’s what allows people to say “Fuck white people” isn’t racist with a straight face. Before you ask someone if something is racist, ask them what they think racism is. It will save a lot of time and aggravation for everyone.
Good for you man. I hope many of your fellow countrymen feel the same.
