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.
Unfortunately, the guy Elon called "pedo guy" lost his suit. Elon can buy the best lawyers on the planet.
I want this to work, but I don't have much hope that it will.
If his BS was tried in non US courts the decision would be different. In the UK we have a fuck nugget called Lawrence Fox (a meh actor) who's fully unboard the same far right train as musk, he called a drag queen and another actor paedophiles after they called him out for racist comments. The two people sued him and won in the court, in fact his defense was a disaster because he regurgitated far right BS and claimed he was the victim.
Lawrence Fox
wow you weren't kidding, what an incredibly racist POS.
His brother in law is Richard Ayodade from the IT crowd. which makes his racism incomprehensible.
Proving the defamation lead directly to damages is hard.
For a guy who calls himself smart he sure falls for alot of misinformation and propoganda.
That's a weird way to spell "creates and perpetuates"
