The Star Trek franchise should institute a policy where they don't refer to historical characters until they've been dead for long enough that their legacies can be evaluated properly - that would help avoid problems caused when today's "visionary" turns into tomorrow's genocidal maniac

I imagine that haunts the famously progressive Jason Isaacs every single day

Initially, it was a Mirror Universe character who said it, which gave them some cover. Then they doubled down on it a couple years later. 😐

Though the character that said that was from the mirror universe

Probably-but he cares enough to get legal about it.

Why the post-structuralism when discussing this. Let's talk Intent.

😡

I have a little bit of respect for Alexander the Great. He was a fan of Diogenes and anyone who met and paid homage to that man can't be all bad.

We've had this conversation. True stories are not libel.

Deport the MuskRat!

Like he’s legit begging to have it proved in a court of law that he’s committed crimes against humanity…

1% even. I was wondering where I got the extra character. @bsky.app and @support.bsky.team -- for the LOVE OF GOD, AND ALL THINGS HOLY, PLEASE -- get us an edit button. It's cool that we can add 10 photos now and we can hashtag all day long. ... but an edit button. So easy to do ... and yet ...

The Robber Barons believed in three things that Musk does not believe in. Divine judgement. The United States. Social and civic order - i.e., physical and cultural infrastructure - which served to guide and build capital. Musk cares not a jot for religion, politics or society and it shows.

Musk is a nazi and a pedo SUPPORTER!

Musk would not win if he does

I think watching the light drained from his eyes as he's raised by the rope on the gallows would be much more delightful

Nice

He is just an idol for those who value wealth more than integrity, and servility more than independence.

I thought it was ONLY 600,000 or so.

remember wife number two and three, pictured on the left divorced him while filming this tv show, and remember what happened to said William the Narcissist, pictured on the right

Yeah - I think he knows how fucked he is

All these millionaires and billionaires that hang out with trump are just wastrels

Elon is probably hated by more people than Nixon ever was, and perhaps even more than ol' Pol Pot. Stalin and the mustache guy seem safe for now as the pinnacled of modern evil, but Musk is working hard to dethrone them both.

if he doesn't experience any of that during his miserable lifetime, then what are we even doing here.

If Musk proceeds, the discovery phase will be epic!

Hasn’t Dumpty explained to him that discovery is not their friend?

They posted a pic of his and orangepedo's faces over the meme of black guys dancing carrying a casket through a crowd of crying black people.

He’s not yet afraid for his safety, though, and that’s our fault.

I can’t stand him either but I’m happy to see them fight

Please stop using “pig“ as an insult. Pigs are very smart animals.

It’s a bluff like all his other threats.

There's evidence that oral myth can transmit verifiable information over thousands of years. Let's do it.

It’s ironical that he thinks he’s going to create AI super intelligence yet somehow that super intelligence isn’t going to see through his BS.

Laughed while he did it

I advocate for all articles written about Elon to start with: "Elon Musk, noted racist and child murderer, today..."

He’s doing what Trump does. He’s trying to use the legal system to silence and intimidate people. It won’t work.

He qould throw his DOGE flying monkeys under rhe bus and shield himself with "not being akshually the head, that was the disposable lady". TBH he probably has little paper trail for the decisions, and a lot of people "working towards the MechaFührer ".

Khanna is a garden variety opportunist and moron. Musk is a world-historical villain. No competition.

Discovery on this would go insane

And a CSAM producer and distributor to boot. He has stiff competition but he just might be the most evil man alive.

100% the threat confirms it. If he thought he really genuinely hadn’t done it he would actually just sue the person. But he knows he did. What’s more he delights in the harm he caused.

Dude has a lot of issues, but one of the biggest is his complete inability to shut up.

His goal is that all life on earth will end when his does. He’s not going to leave a posterity to judge him.

Sue all you want, it doesn't change what you did and what you are responsible for. Please sue, everything will come out in public that confirms what a shithead you are.

Great EM questioned about the impact of his actions under oath!

To save people a click, this is the podcast episode where Ro Khanna made the statement that Elon is threatening to sue over; it comes near the end, after the 22 minute mark: youtu.be/U6orysyO7Ww?... Be sure to save a copy in case it gets taken down!

About his legacy with the general public? I don’t think he is.

and yet he’s still shrieking about suing people for telling the truth. he’s totally incapable of being content with his riches.

So he would have to take the stand and refute a mountain of evidence indicating that his reckless actions have endangered to children? Let's crowd fund a safety net for her so she doesn't settle out of court, because watching him squirm is gonna be priceless.

Wouldn’t there, then, be a hearing in court, where he would have to face the evidence of how his actions directly resulted in millions of deaths? Or is he betting on a summary decision by a Trump appointee judge?

And all descendents! Fuck his line! Go back to SA where your racist family belongs

I suspect that he's right on the cusp where he's aware that *public opinion* of him is worse that public opinion of swimming in camel diarrhea. But not that he's actually *earned* it. I know it's an armchair diagnosis, but he seems so deeply narcissistic that he actually can't process the idea.

Go ahead & sue. Discovery would be.......

Libel has a high legal standard -- they'd have to prove Khanna was aware information was incorrect and intentionally used it to damage Elon Musk -- very difficult to prove Like most (US) libel suits, the intent is financial intimidation and censorship

Mike Luckovich

Well that's what happens to nazis

Imagine the cross-examination - starting with his chainsaw photo.

Put a renewed NIH to work on smart drugs to give all the Hegseth-level imbeciles so they too can understand what they actually did.

And then he goes out and lets the media know where he is so he can get press…

It’s why he often travels with one of his kids as a human shield.

There was that one Twitter account that posted nothing but Elon’s (admittedly public) flight records. One of the first accounts he had deleted when he took over. A bit of an overreaction but knowing how mental he is, it’s not unexpected.

elon should show us all and just go to mars together with mecha hitler - of course on one of his spacex rockets (I'm sure the one he will go on will be just fine, he said so every year since like 2018 that next year it will be fine, so certainly the next one should be the one!)

The thought that he’s aware of how unliked he is and terrified for his safety is a pretty fucking slim silver lining to the cloud that is all the damage he’s done, but I’ll take what I can get.

Sue! Discovery will be fun

And his face melted...🎶

I can’t decide if I’d find it more emotionally satisfying to see him bankrupted or to see him bomb at stand-up on a recorded HBO special at a packed large venue.

He should buy LinkedIn off of Microsoft. The lunatics love him over there.

I hope he does it. I wanna see this play out in court.

I’m just waiting for him to accidentally over-micro-dose on ketamine and permanently lose whatever brain faculties he has left.

that’s exactly my point. musk wouldn’t respond this way if he wasn’t on some dim level aware that he has committed hideous obscenities.

The guy who murders kids and makes porn of them is afraid people don't like him.

Very good point! After Musk has that temporary falling-out where be brought up "The Files", Khanna actually suggested now was the time for Democrats to poach him to their side. (!!! - this was AFTER the Sieg Heil salutes and DOGE damage, BTW)

To Whom Much is Given, Much is Expected. Elon has made a mockery of that truism. He is a hoarder and responsible for so much suffering.

Not only did he kill million of children but he did it gleefully and capriciously

Sue him, Elon. Discovery will be fun.

Reminds me of the Trek episode where he’s mentioned in the same breath as the Wright Brothers. The writers got lucky that the guy who said it later got revealed to be Secretly Evil.

I think he also realizes that with enough money behind you you can literally write your own version of history, which he is literally trying to do via Grok.

Bring it on just open that can whoop ass, the questions that need to be answered are boundless.

Ro really has come around. I'm so old I recall Khanna was known as the Musk whisperer of the Democratic party - suggesting all Dems embrace Elon with open arms.

Oh, I see: "acts taken within the legislative sphere"

www.law.cornell.edu/constitution... this is often framed as a separation of powers –– neither executive nor judicial branches of government can constrain the legislative branch's ability to self-police its speech and debate

That could be fun discovery

Suit would go nowhere. The congressman’s statement is demonstrably true.

Musk is a piece of shit. The next Dem President needs to consider nationalizing SpaceX on National Security grounds. Musk is a clear and present danger.

That dim awareness keeps his bodyguards with him 24/7

I think Elon should go for it. If Ro Khanna said he killed 4.5 million children, that’s defamation. I watch the estimates, and no one seriously thinks Elon has killed more than 750,000 children…

The thought does make me chuckle and warms my cockles.

And then he gloated about putting USaid in the wood chipper.

Crassus de nos jours - melting the gold as we skeet.

Courts and lawyers are how rich folks bend the truth and hide their crimes. Of course he is threatening to sue.

lol. SLAPP

Names rot. Dust keeps better records. The wind will pronounce his true one.

“Feeding USAID into the woodchipper” turned out to be feeding millions of children into the woodchipper, and we’re all pretending like it’s not happening

Sue him Elon, and in the name of the millions of unnamed dead let evidence become proof
