For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Wow, so that bullet BARELY clipped him? And he has all those pictures of him trying to act heroic?
Veterans (AKA "suckers and losers" according to Trump) must hate this guy...
The FBI has already confirmed that he was struck by a bullet
Did they? I thought they told congress they were not sure.

Question: can a doctor be compelled (say through court order?) to violate patient confidentiality for the purposes of a criminal investigation? I would think the FBI could make that happen.
Do you have a source?
you got one that isn't just
republicans say FBI revised that it was a bullet that took out half his ear?
Read the first sentence
Funny how no one has the actual release just those words saying fbi totally said it
Yes they did:
'“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the agency said in a statement.'
again waiting for the actual release for it.
cause nothing on their site: https://www.fbi.gov/feeds/national-press-releases/RSS
I would guess it was just sent to AP, unless you're claiming its some broad conspiracy??
What? If is a light graze, yes they would just scrape(or even penetrates thin cartilage)- even if its hollow-point if the target is thin enough.
So?? I'm confused what that has anything to do with whether he was grazed, or penetrated lightly.
Yes in flesh.
Fragmenting nor expansion are going to happen in something as thin as an ear.
I don't endorse this Youtuber, but its pretty clear that amount of flesh takes basically no energy from the bullet
Trump's ear isn't a steel plate, its a very thin piece of flesh, it doesn't absorb much energy before breaking.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_gelatin#Calibration] I'm no physicist, but if a smaller and much slower BB penetrates over 3.3in through solid flesh, I think the less than half an inch of an ear will not absorb much of the bullets energy.
Why does it being small make that more likely? There is a photo of a bullet going right past his head.
Do you have a source for that?
Well he had just turned, but there are breakdowns where you can see pretty clearly how it happened. But yea, it was very unlikely that he survived- that's what everyone said. Yet it happened.
