Eh, it's one of those brands that has weird Nazi associations that still exists. It's fine to have it as one of those "things" that you have in your head as a "hmm" mark around companies.
IBM helped make the bureaucracy of genocide more efficient.
I'll actually give Goodyear a pass. My reasoning is that the partnership was to allow a German company, zeppelin, to produce and sell blimps in the US.
They never produced aircraft for the Nazis, and they actually brought German engineers and researchers out of Germany.
When the war broke out the partnership dissolved and Goodyear started producing aircraft and synthetic rubber for the allies. They never reformed the partnership, so no laundering the business like coke and Fanta.
Beyond that, the zeppelin company and leadership was about as anti Nazi as you could be. The leadership at the time of their rise to power ended up being forced to share control with a fascist and was censored because he spoke against them.
Less relevant but still an interesting bit of trivia
Yup, and there are so many companies where they did the shitty thing.
In this case Goodyear was founded in Ohio, and Zeppelin by Count Zeppelin. (Weirdly, Goodyear wasn't founded by Goodyear, just named after him because he invented vulcanized rubber).
The Goodyear-zeppelin partnership turned into Goodyear aerospace before the war, then severed ties with Zeppelin when the war started, and eventually got purchased by Lockheed Martin, which doesn't make blimps, so it kinda just went away.
I heard a Trump ad where they were talking about Kamala enacting gun control laws, socializing medicine, abolishing ICE, and defunding the police. Don't you threaten me with a good time!
Notice that trump already says he will be a dictator on the first day. There's already video of him saying that, and it is kind of hard to debt it and claim he meant something else.
MAGAts have no good defense for it either.
Muskow is using obvious AI created picture, to dillute how damming is trump's statement. He essentially says "oh you have video of trump saying he will be a dictator? That's AI! I can make Kamala also say something like that"
And at this point the attention is diverted, that trump literally wants to be a dictator and no longer is even trying to hide it and everyone is arguing what's real what's not.
Well he had millions in a PR fund before, and likely still does now. He's a real moron for fucking it all up. When he was made to step down as chairman on Space X for one of his dumb ass statements, investors threatened to pull out of he wasn't still on the board, he was supposed to be this sure thing. He burned a whole image as an stock market winner to be king shit of Twitter.
I was just talking about this with a friend. Remember back when he seemed like a neat guy? Quirky and kind of a dick sometimes but maybe an actual good rich guy with interesting ideas. He was even on Rick and Morty!
It turns out that was all bullshit. What a disappointment he turned out to be.
He misjudged the time ghost. But also he fired the woman who kept his image and behavior under control, and lost his mind over unions. I imagine he thought he’d be like Walt Disney, but aforementioned zeitgeist made him look like Henry Ford with less competence and sanity.
I know he always had tumultuous relations with Grimes, the two of them both seem to have a lot of issues both separately and together. But also Naziism is meant to appeal to people like him. He is rich, powerful, and emotionally insecure. He must hear that he is special and better and that he should be having a ton of sex. He parrots eugenics that flatters him because it tells him what he needs to hear.
He refuses therapy because what he needs to hear to be healthy is the opposite, that he needs positive interactions with those around him and that that comes from genuine humility. That Twitter is terrible for him and that psychedelics clearly haven’t helped him fill the emptiness inside and so he’d be better served by something like volunteering. Not by giving some huge extravagant shit to show he’s the best, or some partisan thing. Something like swinging a hammer for habitat for humanity or stocking a food pantry. Something painfully ordinary that does direct good, allows him to be taught or guided and corrected, and puts him in community with strangers for a common goal. But he’s not going to do that. The emptiness in his soul is like an irrational phobia, it drives him away from the solution and towards behavior that makes him into a weirder and less likable person. If he hollows his soul out enough he’ll feel less empty right?
I knew about Elon from some very lengthy posts on a blog called waitbutwhy that made him look like some very rad dude.
I loved that blog because it was informative and funny and it had a very hopeful view on future technologies, it all sounded incredibly exciting.
Then they made a post taking cryonics seriously and I was like "huh?". And then I started learning who Elon really was and now I can't trust that blog anymore.
I was always aware he existed, but didn't know much about him. I just had the general sense that he was an eccentric billionaire that seemed like an okay guy overall, which is the image he cultivated. As someone who's been disappointed by people I admire revealing themselves to be pieces of shit before, I can empathize with previous Musk fans who aren't right-wing shitheads.
Just a harmless joke. I am certain all of Twitter users will understand it's just for fun. Not a single one of them will take it 1st degree and repost this, outraged, as if it was a fact. /s
This is precisely the type of hollow and blunt, unfunny and dishonest garbage a goebbels-wannabe edgelord manchild would push, the stench is unmistakable.
So he's trying to post images made by grok so people will want to pay for it, but he's using it to create false and inflammatory political images and suggesting that they are real. He's jumping straight to one of the most problematic consequences of AI like it's a selling point.
I didn't believe it. The owner of a major social media organization publishing out right propaganda. Is he trying to get their non-publisher protections cancelled?
So I did the dirty.
And Ya'll... This is tame compared to the rest of his feed for the last couple days.
What is this shit? This feels unreal... I'm feeling like this is a joke but everyone just takes the joke further and further and i would like for it to be the case but the fact that it keeps going has me genuinely confused. Are people believing this ?
This feels like a joke at a party but 15 people repeat it in the exact same way.
It fits to this old quote, just not with words but everything they do:
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
Elon forgets that for all his wealth and power, all it really takes is one sufficiently pissed-off person with a grudge and the werewithal to stab a steak knife into his neck.
Hey, FinDom is a thing that people do and I'll thank you not to kink shame... them... I mean, I heard its a thing, other people do... they're likely not even good at it... what naughty, cowardly, idiots those other people are. Giving all their money to a woman when she demands it on a live cam. I can't even imagine how hot that would be... for them... those other people who do that.
No, I can't believe it, since that's very clearly a fake image. Does this temporarily wealthy individual consider this to be valid political discourse?
AI has a really hard time depicting Kamala's features accurately, probably because of her mixed heritage. Makes it easy to spot an AI image of her, at least.
That would require him either (a.) learn Photoshop or (b.) pay someone who already knows Photoshop; I think we can all rest assured he's doing neither of those things any time soon.
That, and also I'm assuming Elon was using Grok. I'm guessing the skin color and facial features when it came to the "anti-woke" AI's training skewed heavily white.
I'm guessing internet images skew white anyway since guess who was for a long time most likely to be able to afford the technology to take digital photos and post them online, so you're already working with many years of training data that is majority white by a significant margin.
The general "understanding" of left leaning ideologies in America is sooooo bad. Left == commies! Weird that America has lots of great relations with Socialist countries. Trump even want people from Denmark to move to America and yet pretty much all Dane's are socialists.
This is great for democrats. He's as addicted to Twitter as Trump was in his time as candidate and president. And they both share their stupidity in almost each tweet they publish. It's gold.
And those actually look like him. The one he posted doesn't really resemble Harris much. If he didn't attach her name to it, I wouldn't ever think it was supposed to be her.
Maybe it’s just me being a fairly active woman, but I just don’t get the people who shoot up steroids but don’t even bother to exercise. Like I get being really committed to having a muscular body to the detriment of your health, I’ve heard gay men talk about how they’ve chosen bodybuilding over the ability to have erections as they’ve gotten older and that makes sense to me. Having a body you like the appearance of is valuable. But what I don’t get is when you’re willing to trade your health, for it but not an hour a day in the gym and proper nutrition. And steroids do cost you your health, even testosterone when taken above male levels. Sure bodybuilding will take more than an hour, it’s a commitment, and I can even see trading your health to reduce that commitment. But the man seems to not be willing to do any amount of exercise of dietary control. Like that’s none of the benefits of getting in shape, even looking good or feeling good, just packing on mass wherever, getting hormonal disruptions to the emotions (steroids are one of the less pleasant parts of chemo), and strain on the cardiovascular and endocrine systems all to look like the least attractive child of a bodybuilder and a longshoreman.
And that shows the real danger here: the fascist misinformation gets amplified, while the debunking (or at least, rebuttal since it's fake too) gets suppressed with "content warnings."
Not openly supporting genocide but sending weapons to the country committing it and openly naming their continuing of atrocities a „right to defend themselves”. They are disgusting in the way they handle this. All of the world opened their eyes to what was and is happening in israel and they choose to double down while continuing bullshiting us with piers and fucking ceasefire.
Besides I didn’t even say anything about trump because my comments about his person would probably get me banned for inciting violence or something. Im just criticizing the current and future white house for continuing to use a platform run by someone openly supporting the fascist party of america while at the same time naming them for quite openly supporting a genocide. But you are team blue, so you have to support team blue.
I wish Democrats were as cool as Republicans think they are
I have to admit, that's a really nice uniform. Hugo Boss would be jealous.
Hugo Boss for M. Bison
Good call!
Is that the Guy who designed the Nazi uniform?
Why do I know this? Did Alex Jones and Kayne West talk about him maybe? I am now concerned for myself.
Yes, that's what I was joking about.
I assumed you were just super into mens fashion design.
That would be hilarious if you knew me and saw the shit I wear.
Let's just say I won't pay more than $25 for a shirt.
Eh, it's one of those brands that has weird Nazi associations that still exists. It's fine to have it as one of those "things" that you have in your head as a "hmm" mark around companies.
Goodyear, the Nazi blimp of choice.
I didn't know about that one, so I looked it up.
I'll actually give Goodyear a pass. My reasoning is that the partnership was to allow a German company, zeppelin, to produce and sell blimps in the US.
They never produced aircraft for the Nazis, and they actually brought German engineers and researchers out of Germany.
When the war broke out the partnership dissolved and Goodyear started producing aircraft and synthetic rubber for the allies. They never reformed the partnership, so no laundering the business like coke and Fanta.
Beyond that, the zeppelin company and leadership was about as anti Nazi as you could be. The leadership at the time of their rise to power ended up being forced to share control with a fascist and was censored because he spoke against them.
Less relevant but still an interesting bit of trivia
Didn't know that. Just had heard it was the same people who started the company.
Yup, and there are so many companies where they did the shitty thing.
In this case Goodyear was founded in Ohio, and Zeppelin by Count Zeppelin. (Weirdly, Goodyear wasn't founded by Goodyear, just named after him because he invented vulcanized rubber).
The Goodyear-zeppelin partnership turned into Goodyear aerospace before the war, then severed ties with Zeppelin when the war started, and eventually got purchased by Lockheed Martin, which doesn't make blimps, so it kinda just went away.
Leica and Zeiss making the cameras used for propaganda
You can and should say a lot of awful things about the Nazis but you have to admit their uniforms were stylish.
It looks like there is chainmail under that jacket which is rad as hell.
Putin would be jealous. That's his way of making a double-entendre.
I heard a Trump ad where they were talking about Kamala enacting gun control laws, socializing medicine, abolishing ICE, and defunding the police. Don't you threaten me with a good time!
Projection once again. Only one of them actually vowed to be a dictator on day one. And it ain't Kamala.
Not projection in this case.
Notice that trump already says he will be a dictator on the first day. There's already video of him saying that, and it is kind of hard to debt it and claim he meant something else.
MAGAts have no good defense for it either.

This is not Trump. It's a different racist weirdo.
And this racist weirdo is fully supportive of Trump. It's still projection
...who posted this in response to Donald Trump vowing to be a dictator day one.
Richist person in the world, and this is the best he can do.
The pic doesn’t even look like Kamala
Looks more like Eva Longoria if anybody
Whereas, you can't even afford an "e". What's this world coming to?!
I was hungry. It was all I had.
You could spare some from your name at least.
Or... Have a few on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Well, now the burning question is: were you merely famishd, maciatd or full on dsprat?
Money doesn't buy creation... Unless you tell them they have their own show (Murdoch, Simpsons...and every other creator on Fox)
I'm having such a fucking hard time accepting that I ever thought Elol was smart
Everyone makes mistakes. You've grown, rejoice.
It's also a reminder that many may still learn who he really is.
Well he had millions in a PR fund before, and likely still does now. He's a real moron for fucking it all up. When he was made to step down as chairman on Space X for one of his dumb ass statements, investors threatened to pull out of he wasn't still on the board, he was supposed to be this sure thing. He burned a whole image as an stock market winner to be king shit of Twitter.
I was just talking about this with a friend. Remember back when he seemed like a neat guy? Quirky and kind of a dick sometimes but maybe an actual good rich guy with interesting ideas. He was even on Rick and Morty!
It turns out that was all bullshit. What a disappointment he turned out to be.
Bruh went from flamethrowers and bustin in Grimes to Nazi for what? Smh
He misjudged the time ghost. But also he fired the woman who kept his image and behavior under control, and lost his mind over unions. I imagine he thought he’d be like Walt Disney, but aforementioned zeitgeist made him look like Henry Ford with less competence and sanity.
I know he always had tumultuous relations with Grimes, the two of them both seem to have a lot of issues both separately and together. But also Naziism is meant to appeal to people like him. He is rich, powerful, and emotionally insecure. He must hear that he is special and better and that he should be having a ton of sex.

I mean people also admired Hitler for being such a great politician before he set the world on fire.
People are idiots.
I was always aware he existed, but didn't know much about him. I just had the general sense that he was an eccentric billionaire that seemed like an okay guy overall, which is the image he cultivated. As someone who's been disappointed by people I admire revealing themselves to be pieces of shit before, I can empathize with previous Musk fans who aren't right-wing shitheads.
I wish they would sue him for libel so bad
Wouldn't make a dent in his wealth even if they did, sadly.
Maybe a few years in a maximum security prison ("for his safety" of course) could help.
Libel is a civil issue, not criminal
Shame.
Not really...
Depends on how you calculate damages.
Yeah a better response would be to just dunk on him in some way on social media and call it a day.
Bingo. Progressives have been handling fascists with kid gloves for too long. Time to start ripping on them for being the sad losers they are.
Dude how is he not being detained for election interference? Somebody who knows about laws and stuff tell me how the fuck he's allowed to do this?
Because he's white and rich.
Just tell a nearsighted cop he's an african immigrant breaking the law and let nature take its course
😂 good god you might be onto something
There's a law about election interference?!
Just a harmless joke. I am certain all of Twitter users will understand it's just for fun. Not a single one of them will take it 1st degree and repost this, outraged, as if it was a fact.
/sThis is precisely the type of hollow and blunt, unfunny and dishonest garbage a goebbels-wannabe edgelord manchild would push, the stench is unmistakable.
When you get your propaganda minister from wish.com
So he's trying to post images made by grok so people will want to pay for it, but he's using it to create false and inflammatory political images and suggesting that they are real. He's jumping straight to one of the most problematic consequences of AI like it's a selling point.
The goal was always to muddy the waters for people who already can't see when its crystal clear.
I thought he was worried about AI and wrote a letter telling everyone to stop 🙃
"she wears that outfit"
Cool libel, Bro.
Seems like a lawyer should have advised against posting that.
That's just another form of regulation he's going to ignore
Man, Elon using edgy AI spreading misinformation... There's just so much to hate about this.
I didn't believe it. The owner of a major social media organization publishing out right propaganda. Is he trying to get their non-publisher protections cancelled?
So I did the dirty.
And Ya'll... This is tame compared to the rest of his feed for the last couple days.
Isn’t this libel?
What is this shit? This feels unreal... I'm feeling like this is a joke but everyone just takes the joke further and further and i would like for it to be the case but the fact that it keeps going has me genuinely confused. Are people believing this ? This feels like a joke at a party but 15 people repeat it in the exact same way.
It fits to this old quote, just not with words but everything they do:
Jean-Paul Sartre
Sartre could have just said conservatives... Nothing to do with Jews, really.
He wrote it in 1944 during the occupation of France by Nazi Germany.
It also applies to more benign internet trolls.
Well Scooby-Doo can doo doo but Jimmy Carter is smarter!
That... word for word... has been running through my head for about a decade now.
And yet again it doesn't even look like Harris.
looks like Anne fucking Hidalgo
Elon forgets that for all his wealth and power, all it really takes is one sufficiently pissed-off person with a grudge and the werewithal to stab a steak knife into his neck.
Caracalla found this out the hard way as well.
I tried googling him, got distracted. Ended up with this:
A cat is fine too
Now I need to search more caracal pictures.
Godspeed.
It's rage bait to promote his uncensored Grok AI
Grok AI is such a stupid fucking name, but that's on brand.
Americans getting raped in the ass by this South African wannabe Goebbels.
What is up with you guys?
A gutted educational system. Especially in red states.
Half of our voters love being financially cucked by billionaires as long as the people they hate are hurt more.
Hey, FinDom is a thing that people do and I'll thank you not to kink shame... them... I mean, I heard its a thing, other people do... they're likely not even good at it... what naughty, cowardly, idiots those other people are.

Please he’s a wannabe Streicher
Jokes as dry as powder.
Autistic sociopaths are renowned for their amazing sense of humor
No need to insult autistic people
Oh I don't mean to, I'm explicitly insulting Elon
I find myself hilarious but just like elon I surround myself with people who love my left green racoon humour more than me as a person.
I'm sure you're hilarious
Jokes as dry as every woman that's had the misfortune of sleeping with him.
No no, it's beyong weird...
GOP handbook: do a thing, and then immediately accuse your opponents of doing said thing
Racist weirdo knows he's pushing mindless excrement, thinks its' funny to distort reality beyond the breaking point.
No, I can't believe it, since that's very clearly a fake image. Does this temporarily wealthy individual consider this to be valid political discourse?
Thats a good look for her.
She wears it well
AI has a really hard time depicting Kamala's features accurately, probably because of her mixed heritage. Makes it easy to spot an AI image of her, at least.
It gets Trump's ugly mug a lot better.
What's hilarious is why even use an ai generator for something this shitty? I can do a substantially better job with Photoshop in, like, 5 minutes.
That would require him either (a.) learn Photoshop or (b.) pay someone who already knows Photoshop; I think we can all rest assured he's doing neither of those things any time soon.
You can, but I guarantee Elon can't.
That, and also I'm assuming Elon was using Grok. I'm guessing the skin color and facial features when it came to the "anti-woke" AI's training skewed heavily white.
I'm guessing internet images skew white anyway since guess who was for a long time most likely to be able to afford the technology to take digital photos and post them online, so you're already working with many years of training data that is majority white by a significant margin.
I could see Elon’s point that anyone can post anything fake… if Kamala’s post wasn’t a literal quote out of Trump’s mouth.
So... Elon wishes Kamala would be his Putin?
The general "understanding" of left leaning ideologies in America is sooooo bad. Left == commies! Weird that America has lots of great relations with Socialist countries. Trump even want people from Denmark to move to America and yet pretty much all Dane's are socialists.
I’ve always wondered…but do none of these guys own a mirror.
This is great for democrats. He's as addicted to Twitter as Trump was in his time as candidate and president. And they both share their stupidity in almost each tweet they publish. It's gold.
It doesn't even look like her.
richest out of touch man in the world saying the only opposition is communism is maybe not a well considered message
What exactly do you think this community is for?
There's some great image responses:
"Can you believe he wears this outfit?"
And those actually look like him. The one he posted doesn't really resemble Harris much. If he didn't attach her name to it, I wouldn't ever think it was supposed to be her.
Not exactly shocking that Grok's image creator (which is what I assume he used to do this if it exists) can't do black women accurately.
Sissy SpaceX is an amazing name for a science-themed drag performer
Ok but that third one has to be real.
Elons beer gut is much much worse than that image.
Some suggest it might be steroid abuse or something. Elon was talking about high-testosterone a few months ago.
Maybe it’s just me being a fairly active woman, but I just don’t get the people who shoot up steroids but don’t even bother to exercise. Like I get being really committed to having a muscular body to the detriment of your health, I’ve heard gay men talk about how they’ve chosen bodybuilding over the ability to have erections as they’ve gotten older and that makes sense to me.

Sort of has Krang vibes. Someone should AI generate a weird Musk body with a Trump in his torso.
Reality is indeed stranger than fiction
"Draw me like one of your French girls"
--Elon as he poses for Rob Liefeld
And that shows the real danger here: the fascist misinformation gets amplified, while the debunking (or at least, rebuttal since it's fake too) gets suppressed with "content warnings."
woah he's munching on Elon like it's Ivanka
For pooping, silly!
What’s the most insane is that she is gonna use her official profile on this site to tell us why bombing kids is ok.
And I thought politics in 1930’s were fucked up
Our options are. Orange: support Isreal turning all of Gaza into hamburger. Blue: doesn't publicly support genocide, but still supports isreal.
No good options. I'll pick the one with a possibility of not openly supporting genocide. It's so simple I think your cat could figure it out.
Not openly supporting genocide but sending weapons to the country committing it and openly naming their continuing of atrocities a „right to defend themselves”. They are disgusting in the way they handle this. All of the world opened their eyes to what was and is happening in israel and they choose to double down while continuing bullshiting us with piers and fucking ceasefire.

Im just criticizing the current and future white house for continuing to use a platform run by someone openly supporting the fascist party of america while at the same time naming them for quite openly supporting a genocide.
