Genuinely well done as a piece of subversive advertisement. One of those things you look at and go “I wish I thought of that”.
I really hope this is a real ad. Oh if only all ads were shitting on billionares instead of kissing their asses.
I teach in a college. I think I will print a few copy and tonight and pin it on the walls.
I wish this was legal in Germany. I’d love to see these posters here.
This should be legal in Germany, as it is clearly comedy.
When Nazi salutes become legal to show again in Germany, it won’t be for mocking Nazis.
Where do people that complain about not having enough money for everything all the time get the money to do this kind of stuff?
Seriously what gives?
Have you considered that the people who put up this ad may not be the same people that have no money?
Are only billionaires allowed to do propaganda?
What about disliking textbook fascism and blatant corruption is tripping you up here?
Why do you assume everyone on this site is exactly the same? Is it that hard to grasp that there’s a spectrum of people who are at different stages in their lives with different amounts of money?
Also, how much do you think this cost? A bus billboard goes for what, $300-500 a month? Is it that crazy to imagine there are people here that don’t have that much free money?
Put musk in the title so people with filters don’t have to be reminded.
I think a cybertruck would have been more appropriate. A lot of people bought a model X before we knew he was a nazi. Granted the X is still a bad car imo.
Cybertrucks aren’t sold in the uk
Oh good point
But other Tesla models are still selling much better than the Nazitruck. If we want to make a point and make a dent in Musk’s profits as he strips our country for scrap metal and fires everyone, we need to discourage people from associating with anything that gives the bastard more money/power.
You have my full support and i fully agree on your last point but in nuance Tesla could go bankrupt and Musks wealth will hardly make a dent. With a budget of spending a mil a day it would still take centuries to blow trough all his money.
Isn’t most of his wealth in stocks? If investors think Tesla is a bad stock (because no one will buy the cars), then Musk is poor.
Actually you are correct. I thought i had found a number for his liquid money but it wasn’t.
Also got a bit hung up on his stake in Tesla being just 13% but with Tesla being valued at ~900B thats still over ~100B of his ~320B “value”
Also worth noting that he’s stated himself that his companies’ values are all heavily tied together, and that it’s a “carefully balanced house of cards”. If Tesla falls, so to does everything else.
Sooner than later his shareholders will sue him for burning their money. This should be interesting.
Someone on Lemmy once calculated that he could lose 99% of his net value, then lose 99% of what’s left and he’d still be a multimillionaire. From the 320B, that would still leave him with 32M.
Yes it is, and crashing Tesla stock will certainly make him less rich. He still has his other shit companies, so crashing Tesla stocks alone won’t make him poor, but we might not have to hear quite so much about him.
Tesla and space x are the big ones.
Agreed, and a big advertisor exodus from Twitter would help.
It’s not about denting his money, it’s about denting his image. Let the free market see he’s toxic, and that will send ripples to places even Republicans care about: their wallets. Specifically, it can impact Tesla stock.
Republicans dropped any pretense of caring about free markets. Auto makers were already getting bailed out, and now he’s bought the Oval Office.
Yeah but I bought a used model 3 a couple years ago and I really like it :( I don’t want one nazi asshole to ruin it for me but it’s a losing battle. I reserved an Aptera 2 or 3 years ago and I was hoping to not get another car until that’s ready.
2 days late, but I too have spent the last 7 years being ready for Aptera to start delivery late next year.
Just gotta get a prominent “Fuck Elon Musk” bumper sticker and you’re good
I got a license plate holder that says “F ELON” in the tesla font. And I’m replacing the tesla badges with the logo from the SW rebel alliance.
Nice
Wouldn’t matter anyway though since the cyber truck isn’t available in Europe let alone in the UK in fact the one guy that imported one (why, he had to know it was illegal) had it impounded.
Hahaha what a double moron
The idiot had it under foreign plate because obviously he can’t get plate tags for it in the UK. He’s breaking so many laws.
The best bit is that it was impounded in a Morrison’s car park which is a bit like Walmart in terms of classiness. So presumably he spent all his money on the car.
Yani of carwow?
I disagree. They all need to be sold, and their value needs to plummet. This is the way the people can speak against this man.
These are insanely expensive cars. Nobody who has one can’t sell it and get a literal new car with the money, or a fantastic used car.
Demolition derby, as a fundraiser for abortions and transgender medical care.
Where can I donate to this?
Problem is, with the current reliability of the Cybertruck, at least 4 people will get trapped inside and burn to death.
Sell to who, exactly?
Fuck Elon Musk, and Fuck Tesla, been saying this for years now. Also, Volkswagen Mercedes & BMW used Jewish slave labor in Auschwitz and other death camps to make their automobile and airplane parts, and shouldn’t even exist anymore, but they do.
History, example, so much fun huh, too bad nothings learned. Everyone’s so anti Nazi these days, so few are pro Jews to the point of needing to exclude Jews from the entire conversation. As a Jew, It’s been a pretty incredible thing to watch happen realtime.
At least VW is kinda open about it, and as far as I know, they even built a memorial…
I mean, the least thing as a company you can do now, is to be open about everything and make an effort that this shit never happens again!
Sorry mate but only a Racist is pro (or against) an ethnicity, any ethnicity.
Further, if people being against “those who would harms others” is not enough and one wants that they’re specifically pro the ethnicity one belongs to, then that person is a Racist since they’re explicitly demanding differentiated treatment based solely on their race.
Humanist is being for good people and against bad people. The specific race of the aggressors is irrelevant as is the specitic race of the victims.
It’s pretty incredibly to, in the face of people actually turning against the baddies, watch some people who themselves are not in any way form or shape victims of these baddies, whine about how there’s no different and superior treatment for people of their ethnicity compared to people from other ethnicities.
As a Jew, It’s been a pretty incredible thing to watch happen realtime.
No one’s excluding you from the conversation. How can they the only way they would know if you were Jewish is if you told them, which you most definitely did. I can’t help it if you will have some kind of oppression fetish but no one’s thought about the Jewish population as a distinct group in about 40 years.
I realize who he really was first back in 2018, when he randomly call a member of a rescue team pedo because they didn’t want his help. Only got worse since.
Part of me thinks he took that guys rebuffal so badly that he set out to inflict misery upon mankind.
The more you learn about him the more you realize that he’s always been a piece of shit.
I can relate to that. One time my toddler said they didn’t want to try my pudding and I’ve been trying to destroy the world ever since.
I realize it’s a different toddler in my scenario.
I knew he was an idiot and a douchebag. I didn’t expect him to go full-on fascist.
At the time I thought Musk had inside knowledge.
No, he’s just a massive dick.
Yeah, nobody cares that you’re jewish. I swear Jews and Catholics are the Arch users of the religious world.
Fucking douche panzers
doesn’t that look like ai? seems like bleeding of the bottom of the busstop roof or is that dirt?
but generally i do support the message, muskrat should be sent to mars, without anything. just out of a massive cannon
that’s brilliant! thank you, doing lords work! 👏
I literally just looked up the swastikar hashtag on Mastodon 🤭
At the bottom of the bus stop is rain going down a dirty surface. Given it’s in London, I’d be surprised if that wasn’t there.
It really doesn’t look like ai. Look at the background and the reflections on the ceiling. Those all make way too much sense for this to be ai. I’ll say it’s possible that this is edited. Someone could have swapped out a different bus stop ad.
Nah i am talking about the bottom of the red roof. Could be paint peeling off or just weird ai dreams.
Moved out of London myself, otherwise this would have been a 30min trip to check for me. And i would.
If you look at the bus stop on [street view](336 Bethnal Grn Rd https://maps.app.goo.gl/UTVcRVCkPp8zSPpe9?g_st=ac) you can see the same uneven red border, it’s definitely a real place
lol not doubting its a real place i lived in that neck of the woods a few months ago, but now its 2h each way and 40 quid off peak train for me + tube to check. Which is a little too much. I am just doubting that this made it through advertising standards and actually got posted. This would be controlled by TFL, so I would imagine they would also be previewing ads abot to be run.
Would be nice if we got a few more pixels… trying to convince some local colleagues to go check it out.
Dude you can buy keys to open this digital graffiti things and insert whatever poster you want.
If this is actually in that spot it is because someone put it in there , not by contacting the company that controls these eyesores but by being malicious in a good way.
Oh are they like electric/gas cabinets/fire gates then? just need a generic key? Fair enough I didn’t know.
Correct. Thing they’re like triangle shape keys some of them. There was a website, which I forget the name of, that would show tips for doing stuff like this and where to get the keys from etc.
It all looks way too consistent for AI. AI images tend to be slightly blurry and don’t have a lot of consistency especially with text
There’s a lot of stuff in there that I don’t think an AI would include like the random sticker on the pole, the reflections on the plastic that covers the ad, the bus stop paint on the road is rather worn but not massively worn I feel like an AI would go in one direction or the other.
That’s not the red coming over the lip that’s grime on the red part where water has accumulated on top of the lip
deleted by creator
Definitely sketchy. Why is the paint melting off?
I can see you don’t live in a big city. It would be infinitely more suspicious if the image was pristine.
That’s piss m8
I don’t see any paint melting off. It’s grime on the red part itself, zoom in and have a look.
