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.

Nothing says "free speech absolutism" like filing another SLAPP against an organisation whose speech you don't like.

Has it though? I saw recently posted some kind of proof (no source available) that ADL once threatened the country of Iceland to destroy its tourism industry by falsely accusing them of antisemitism to the US crowd if they didn't do something they wanted. Should that be true, then it sets a precedent.

Ahem. I believe you are referring to this request, made by the ADL to the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs, that the Minister take action to shut down the hosting of a website

mapping and publishing addresses of Jewish individuals and institutions [in Boston] and calling for these individuals and institutions to be “dismantled” and “disrupted”

which had recently migrated to a hosting service based in Iceland. Its anonymous "anti-Zionist" creators state that they

have shown physical addresses, named officers and leaders, and mapped connections. These entities exist in the physical world and can be disrupted in the physical world. We hope people will use our map to help figure out how to push back effectively.

So I'm not really sure what you mean in terms of "precedent". Telling people that anti-Semitic material being hosted on servers inside a country is being hosted on servers inside a country is not a false accusation of anything.
