Do it! Burn your money fighting a major government. Then maybe you can be poor and I can never hear about you again.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Unfortunately he's burning the governments money too so I wouldn't be too excited about his constant lawmongering.

I think often cases are won or settled based on who has the most money to keep them going.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Oh please. A government doesn't need expensive lawyers for cases like this, especially if the legal challenge happens in its territory. A simple "lol no" could be sufficient.

Thanks for pointing this out. Now I'm a bit angrier about him doing this.

Elon is gonna lose. You can call it free speech, but Australia doesn't have free speech.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Freer than the US. Yous guys can call each other cunts and it's cool. We can't do that!

Love those friggin cunts.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I've actually started using this more regularly recently to help spread the good word here in America, cunt.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Also in the US corporations can sue people for defamation, unlike in Australia.

Under the uniform defamation legislation which applies in every State and Territory, a corporation can't sue for defamation unless it is an “excluded corporation”. An excluded corporation includes a not for profit or a company which employs fewer than 10 people.

Americans really like the idea of being "the most free country" when that's just objectively not true.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago

Bring it on, crybaby. My country's legal system is pretty fucked, but not like the US, so I expect this may actually backfire on him.

Can someone give this fucker a hobby so he shuts the fuck up for a while.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah when i was typing it i thought that as well..

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

He seems pretty emotionally fragile - can we pressure him into doing stuff? i.e if people start posting stuff on Twitter, such as:

"I heard Elon musk was too cowardly to go and film the ice wall at the edge of the Earth. I bet he's one of those lame libtard round-Earthers"

If enough people chipped in, surely we could make this happen.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Elon Musk would be so cool if he did some of that skyscraper parkour. Not many are brave enough for something as awesome as that. All my friends and I would buy Teslas even at the price before it was dropped if its CEO was that cool.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

The boys over at Internet Today on YouTube are right; Musk has a lawsuit fetish.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Likely one of m-a-n-y….

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Big deal. If he ripped a fart in public, he’d sue the mexican restaurant he ate at the night before.

He uses lawsuits to bludgeon because he can afford an unlimited number of them. All because China Inc saved Tesla and made him rich…can’t wait to see him lose it all to BYD (who he smugly laughed at a decade back - who’s laughing now, Chuckles?)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Him and trump are that fucking kid that would yell "oh yeah, well I'll sue you (with daddy's money" because they never had their jaw broken.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

"The supreme court of australia judges that australia is innocent. Now pay our court fees sucker." That's a PR move.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

I've no idea how somebody can have so much money, yet still have a face like a sock filled with marbles.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

I'm not knowledgeable in Australian law. Would someone more well versed be able to hit me with a tldr of how this would work? Does Australia have "free speech" similar to what I understand as an American? Does the government there have the legal authority to make that sort of request? I'm not really worried about whether they should or shouldn't have that authority, or the general ethics surrounding this,I just kind of want to know what the law says

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Australia has implied freedom of speech only, and only with respect to political and economic communication AFAIK.

https://www.vgso.vic.gov.au/implied-constitutional-freedom-political-communication

Like many countries Australia has ruled against hate speech in the past and such speech is not protected.

For example the racial hatred act limits speech: https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/racial-hatred-act-what-racial-hatred-act

There are also laws governing content on social media platforms, including both older media standards and newer laws designed to regulate companies such as X or Facebook.

https://www.esafety.gov.au/newsroom/whats-on/online-safety-act

There are other relevant laws to consider as well but while I am a cyber security expert and not a lawyer I don’t expect Musk to have a good time in Australian courts.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If I'm understanding the esafety act correctly, the Australian government has the authority to fine and issue injunctions, which I'm going to assume could lead up to a ban in the country. Seems like a pretty straightforward L for Musk

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Injunctions yes, injections no, Australia banned capital punishment in all jurisdictions since 1985.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Well, it was a hopeful typo I guess lol. Thanks for the information!

that's right elon, waste more money

going to 0 and looking forward to it

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

That's a bootable offence!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Another worthwhile and fruitful decision from Elmo Nazi. Yes, it’s easy to see why so many considered him a genius.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Gavin bellsing is at it again

Didn't this guy die yesterday?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Nah, knowing our luck, the cunt will live to 120.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Fortunately he’s engaging in the anti fascist work of poisoning Elon musk.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

considering how deep his pockets are; i would expect him to be the beneficiary of the world's efforts to figure out how to live forever.

a future society will be calling him god-king.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

He's probably going to upload himself in every neuralink chip installed in some poor rube's brain...then we'll have a whole army of them. Like a racist 'Lawnmower Man'...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Nice cunt on cunt action.
