Oh ffs, stop warning him, he already knows and still does not comply. He does not care. Just throw the hammer at him, this he will understand.
Don't worry, EU strikes very slowly, but hard.
Can we not do this? It's so pathetic.
Just like how the US supposedly, "grinds slow but grinds fine". No. A literal traitor having YEARS of freedom is NOT justice of any sort. Warning a rich piece of shit that they're violating laws for the 1100th time IS NOT justice.
Stop pretending laws are applied remotely evenly or remotely expeditiously on the rich. It's blatantly and obviously not true.
checks watch. Again.
It's more of a calendar thing I'm afraid.
I’m just happy to see the EU take these important first steps towards actually punishing him and others like him. They’re the only governmental organization around the world that’s actually doing something thoughtful.
In before Musk calls EU a pedophile.
I mean, he likes to defend pedophiles!
🤞 Please let him be imprisoned by some obscure German anti Nazi law please🤞
If they’re gonna do that they need to start with the AfD
Twitter actually got sued in Germany for failure to moderate hate speech already, that could cost him 33 billion euros!
Why does anyone even still use it? I never saw the appeal even before the takeover, now it baffles me. It's such a horrible interface
Because everyone else is using it.
I’ve never seen anyone on it. And I don’t use it.
Also the fascism and manbaby narcissist thing. Icky.
Yeah, you can probably think for yourself to a greater extent than most.
Normative force of the factual.
I really hope Elon given the ultimatum would go for the nuclear option and shut down Twitter in Europe.
It wouldn't even be out of character, I can imagine him vomiting some "free speech" nonsense on his way out.
The company stock price would halve, but at the speed it is already going down it wouldn't even register.
The company stock price would halve.
Elon took it private, it doesn't have a stock price anymore. But it does have a valuation, which is basically it's appraisal value, and that's already significantly lower than what he paid for it.
It was valued at roughtly a third but that was before the rebrand, now it's probably quite a bit lower!
nothing like a stern warning to swiftly correct a billionaire megalomaniac destructive antics in my experience.
Maybe they should stop making small fines of $ millions and start applying $$$ billions in fines.
That's it Mr. Musk, sir. You're officially on notice. (I hope that's ok, sir?)
I've been following Scott Adams (The Dilbert guy. No, not Jim Davis. The Dilbert guy!) and this is obviously misinformation and a hoax. The only accurate news comes from X. If you still get your news from the leftist media, you're being brainwashed.
(obviously sarcasm. Downvote me for following Adams, not for misunderstanding my sarcasm.)
Scott Adams? You mean the guy who writes books about obvious self-insert characters who are so much smarter than everyone else because they are influencers?
I was so Happy (capital intended) when he was featured on Behind the Bastards. I didn't think he was interesting enough to merit even one episode, but now the host is reading Scott's books, and they are complete dogshit.
Scott's rationalwiki entry is a joy to read.
Ban, or ban not. There is no warn.
Elon Musk: "this is a feature, not a bug"
Late stage enshitification
Because fighting against disinformation has always been about fighting for the control of the narrative
Big up to all the bots in the comments.
