Imagine being such massive pieces of shit so young.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 4 months ago

TBH it's more forgivable with kids. They might grow out of it.

[-] DerArzt@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Kids? They can vote. I understand that there's a gradient of maturity, but we can't give folks a pass just cause they're young.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 79 points 4 months ago

Hmmmmm.... Some of those faces look a bit DEI to this proud American. At least they're all males.

[-] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 53 points 4 months ago

DEI, all of them. They look like being assigned male at birth, but have obviously all transitioned into massive cunts.

Nazi squad.

Remember, he did the salute. Twice.

Musky Youth?

(H)IT(ler) Youth?

Ellen's Youngins?

Sorry, trying to make fun of them in some way is helping me deal with.... gesturing broadly ... this.

The Gaetz-keepers

Oh look, Elon groomed little boys who could have gone on to do something great.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 46 points 4 months ago
[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 39 points 4 months ago

Some opportunistic idiots who seemingly don't have anything to lose and can be ditched by Elon as scapegoats if the need arises. I almost sure he groomed them with the myth of him being self-made billionaire and provided them a fabulous opportunity to join him. I'm almost sure they aren't kids anymore, but also that they don't know how to crime and that they need a plan B. In the musical chairs game they are likely to fall on their asses once the music stops.

Needs a catchy phrase to go with it. How about "Night of the Long Knives"?

And one who does is trying to cash in on his new job by charging people to read his Substack entry which boast, “Why DOGE: Why I gave up a seven-figure salary to save America.”

LOL

[-] jacecomix@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

Yeah maybe if he sums up all of his pre-tax total comp for each year he worked there, he might barely reach a seven figure number lmao

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 months ago

"You have committed a crime."

Dangerous words. The kind of words that could get a man killed.

Wait.. I thought it was a crime to name them and share their picture.

Is the Musk Militia (or MM for short) coming for us?

Lol

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 27 points 4 months ago

Musk is an unelected Nazi tearing down the fabric of the country hour by hour. It's incredible that no one can stop the little shit or his team of little shits.

[-] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 months ago

Yeah... It's too bad that the government doesn't have some sort of checks and balances..

Tho there are protests scheduled for tomorrow at your state capitol. But idk that'll help. A

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

Protests won't fix it, in themselves. But it's important to show up because that shows people they're not alone in resisting this. A big protest encourages, emboldens and connects people. It's one of the steps towards building an effective resistance movement. If everyone says "it won't help, so I won't go" then the movement can't get off the ground.

Musk’s team of youngsters, as first reported by WIRED on Sunday, is Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.

The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;

[-] tiefling 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The presidential diaper baby is a felon, and the people in charge of government don't even have degrees

Remember that next time an entry level job requires a master's, background check, and 5 years experience

[-] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

Old creepy rich dudes have been exploiting young men for millennia, nothing new.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Exactly how I expected them to look tbh. Just generic looking kids.

[-] Ghosthacked@lemm.ee 18 points 4 months ago

They aren't kids. They're adults that have made their decision and must deal with the blowback from the public.

I really look forward to all 6 behind bars in a few years. I wonder if they know the level of treason they are committing?

Meritocracy at work ! These guys are obviously the most experimented people you could ever find for the job. Some of them even have a degree !

[-] unabart@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago

The 🥦 is strong!

Imagine thinking this is a good career move. Or haircut.

[-] Manalith@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago

This kid really out here using his haircut to advertise his dad's popcorn company.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Some needs to put these fucken kids to bed.

[-] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Not even old enough for their car insurance to have dropped yet

[-] b161 10 points 4 months ago

Peter Thiel’s blood boys.

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!
