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.

It is evidence detective, it's not "good" evidence in your mind which is called an opinion since you don't seem to understand that either.
Evidence (2)

Since you're quoting legal definitions, you should learn that rumors are hearsay, and hearsay is inadmissible as evidence.
It absolutely is there are hearsay rules both federally and at the state level that determine what weight to give hearsay. Criminal law is different, but even then hearsay can be admissable, it just isn't by default.
Federal rules of evidence basically 801 to 807, 803, 805 and 807 (?) are specific exemptions. Notably in civil court they'd object to hearsay and the resolution is to call the person who is claimed to have said or done whatever as a witness and get their testimony making it no longer hearsay.
Obviously, "I heard he had a penis implant" does not qualify for these exemptions.
I'm sorry, again what court are we in?
Regardless, you'd call grimes as a witness and in civil court you do not have a fifth amendment right, they have to answer truthfully and make it no longer hearsay.
If you're going to be tedious throw a little logic in there to save us both the time.
The court that you conjured up to justify your use of a rumor that would inadmissable as evidence. Grimes isn't testifying since she made no comment. In fact, there's nothing to indicate that she is even aware of the rumor.
Your tedious arguments all stem from your failure to recognize that just because someone said something on social media doesn't mean it's credible, even if the people the rumor is about didn't bother to acknowledge it.
I specifically and in multiple specifically said we're not taking about court. Yes she's not aware aside from it being an immensely well known rumor especially right now but sure, it's not like she's famous for her social media acumen.... Oh wait.
That doesn't make it not evidence, yet again that wouldn't make it good evidence in your opinion. Two separate things though the awkward aggression is a neat addition to this particular exchange.
