Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

The ketamine side effects probably had him fall and/or bump into something.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 69 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, honestly, as much as I want there to be some drama here, he probably did this to himself by accident. The kid punching him story is stupid, fake, gay, dumb, etc. Nobody really believes that shit.

If someone did actually punch him, he would have lost his shit, there would be a much larger fallout.

He's just a drug addict (not a bad thing, lots of beautiful people are, let's not shame), who is abusing others around him as a result of his drug abuse. He probably just hit his head on something while fucked on Special K/E/Adderall/etc.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 51 points 10 months ago (6 children)

I think most addicts would disagree with you that being an addict isn't a bad thing.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 52 points 10 months ago (13 children)

Hating addicts for being addicts, is a bad thing. They're still people, with full lives, and can be wonderful humans. They may also need help, or they may choose not to get help. The point being, we shouldn't judge people based on whether or not they're an addict.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Mate was pivotal in reframing my perspective on addiction and addicts.

Noone said they were hating him for his drug use. Being a drug addict is a bad thing by definition. If it wasnt a negative for the person we wouldnt call it addiction.

Unfortunately drug addicts are "judged" because they are simply riskier to associate with than a sober person. I'm not sure how many sober people are actually left though, and most people won't disclose their drug addictions.

Not trying to give credit to Elonazi. I just remembered that my kid (~19 months) smashed the babyphone onto my head. I would have gotten a black eye for sure if he would have hit it. Still love him. My son, not Elonazi, of course.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 83 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

His mind is on the verge of becoming complete mush due to drug abuse isn't it?

He looks and sounds like a druggie that will soon become homeless due to complete disassociation with reality, how can this even happen with personal doctors and clinics, and diets, and cosmetologists and whatever else?

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 69 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Micheal Jackson had all those things and still OD’d on tranquilizers.

Drugs can be a helluva drug. Also billionaires don’t think that anyone else has the right to tell them “no”.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 24 points 10 months ago (4 children)

And, billions of dollars to have lackeys find you drugs. And private fucking jets to fly to countries with drugs, and bring you back drugs. And a bestie you bought a Presidency for, to keep the DEA from seeing your plane.

Motive, means, and opportunity.

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 10 months ago

And most of all, a gargantuan ego that refuses to believe anything bad can happen to them.

Also billionaires don’t think that anyone else has the right to tell them “no”.

Also, billionaires have enough money to find a doctor who will tell them, "yes."

He's the wealthiest man in the world, what do you mean "how does this happen?"?

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Verge? I think he's been well past that point for a while now.

I LOVE that he thinks his leaving government to refocus on Tesla will solve the sales issue Tesla has been experiencing.

He just does not get it.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

That picture doesn't look like the picture of a guy who will finally deliver self driving cars after promising they were less than one year away for the last 20 years.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

The drugs ate his already small brain

The video of him here is pretty suspect too. Sure looks like he's rolling on some shit.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

With his head normally so far up his own ass, this is more probable than a physical scuffle.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

When is he not?

what do you call a Nazi with a black eye?

a good start

[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 54 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't you think he looks tired?

[–] fluckx@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Nice doctor who reference :D

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 45 points 10 months ago

He puts the cunt in contusion. Works better out loud rather than written though.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"can you imagine, calling him an employee?"

Hey get this, if you're a worker in any industry Trump doesn't respect you.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Which was literally the premise of The Apprentice

[–] thoughtfuldragon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 10 months ago

Give him more

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He hasn't fought with anyone you guys, he's been high as fuck and hit his face on a table or something.

Hitler enjoyed when his inner circle fought with each other. Elon Musk is going out on good terms. The rich have solidarity in their class. Instead of focusing on Elon Musk, maybe you should focus on the dystopic security state that is being built by Palantir. Peter thiel is the anti social Angry gay man who runs that shit.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

Kid got tired of being used as a human shield in public.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Probably fell and cracked his head while down the k-hole.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Musk was also asked about his bruised eye, which he attributed to rough-housing with his five-year-old son.

Not news

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 28 points 10 months ago

The journalist should have seen if he could name the child.

"If you think this is bad, you should see the other guy!" - Drugged up Elon Musk

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The kid did what many of us want to do! Good for him!

[–] jonne 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably revenge for calling him X Æ A-Xii.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

That kid is going to spend his whole life crashing into poorly-coded Web validation software.

EDIT: Also, as usual, there's an xkcd for that:

Oh don't worry, he just tripped and fell into a doorknob from a door that someone was swinging into his stupid face.

Edit: fixed typo

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago

Should have been a sack of doorknobs.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just when you thought he couldn't look any worse...

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 10 months ago

Literally triggered a vomit response for me. I hate every bit of that video. How is this actually happening?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 8 points 10 months ago

That shiner looks more like someone was sending him a strong message. To be a fly on the wall...

[–] wwb4itcgas@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

It suits him, although two would be even better. Also, I'd love to see him picking up his former teeth.
