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.

This isn't accurate. It applies when it's information that's controlled by the federal government. I know this from having worked with said data in cleared environments that involved having a clearance.
Feds need to have an intelectual property interest in the data for export controls to apply?
I believe what toasteecup is referring to is that the federal government isn't actively going around to individual companies and people telling that what they are doing is or isn't export controlled. Additionally the regulations apply equally to everyone, with an exception to universities, so the federal government won't go to Company A and say they must comply but turn around and tell similar Company B they can do whatever.
For ITAR the list of items is part of the US Munitions List, I'm not entirely sure where EAR gets its list from, but it is the responsibility of the companies and persons to figure out if what they are working on falls under either set of regulations.
