He's just going to get people killed. But that's ok he doesn't give a shit anyways, so it's moot. What are a few thousand dead peasants when we could make big stock number go up?

You have to remember that musk literally, unironically, thinks we're npcs. He actually genuinely does not think that the masses of poor people are actually people.

So no, he won't fucking care.

[-] PyroNeurosis 35 points 1 day ago

He should maybe remember that the deathclaws that punish you for skipping straight to New Vegas are also NPCs.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

He paid someone to get past that part for him.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

You got a little extra negative there.

Not negativity, you can't overstate the direness. Just grammar.

He actually genuinely thinks that the masses of poor people aren't actually people.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Yep fixed, fat thumbs on a tiny phone screen

So he's Homelander. That's wonderful.

So US citizens should be able to import Chinese Teslas clones for half the price, right ?

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

No. He's saying THEY get to ignore all regulations. Not you.

[-] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago

Does this mean I csn buy a Hilux?

[-] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day ago

Can you not buy a Hilux in the US as it stands?

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 140 points 1 day ago

From my point of view from the other side of the Atlantic, you guys in the US don't have enough regulation as it is. There's only one class of people that benefit from removal of the regulations you do have, and that's the top 1%. It's just going to allow them to do all of the following to make more money, at everyone else's expense.

1: Treat their employees worse than they already do, AND put them into dangerous situations legally. 2: Cut corners to save money at the expense of safety. Think airlines, airliner manufacturers, car makers, construction. The list here could be endless. 3: Well, finance/banking regulations. That will be a field day for the finance sector I'm sure.

I mean the list is potentially endless. But the three points above will keep you busy for long enough I reckon.

No, I don't really feel safe even this far away. We're not immune to all of this anywhere in the world.

[-] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

Your list has most of the highlights, but you're missing 2 really important one: 1. food safety. I guess Americans don't care what is being sprayed on their vegetables or what diseases their meat might have. And 2. environmental. Burning rivers, even more wildfires, smog in all your cities, toxic waste in your lakes, etc. Don't think they won't start polluting like crazy if they can.

All regulations means ALL regulations; even the ones most people would think are so common sense they don't expect them to go away. They will. If it makes more money, they'll get rid of any and all regulations.

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 12 points 1 day ago

Yeah I stopped at three when I realised I could be there all day when it comes to regulations that private companies need to adhere to. But I would agree those should have been on my abridged list too.

All this bullshit from someone that never even took a US civics class. And likely has little to no idea of US history.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 27 points 1 day ago

He learned enough. Accrue enough money, and you can do whatever the fuck you want.

[-] DerArzt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Shhh the poores may figure it out!

[-] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 41 points 1 day ago

Crashing two planes in his first week wasn't enough, huh?

[-] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

He’s starting with planes, but next he’ll be crashing rockets in your backyard and charge you for the cleanup.

[-] mdd@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Musk does not clean up environmental messes. He just makes them.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

But that was the fault of the DEI - the secret shadow government responsible for all things you don't like.

[-] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 day ago

It's all going according to plan...we are so fucked

“Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.”

Julius Caesar, ACT II Scene II by William Shakespeare

Between this and Ulbrict’s pardon, it seems the libertarians may be happy with their choice.

[-] workerONE@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He thinks we're probably living in a simulation so logically killing people wouldn't be morally wrong to him.

You gotta break a few eggs to have your butler make you a ribeye steak.

Someone with the means and knowledge should start broadcasting Rickrolls across FAA and maritime frequencies.
