Musk is told his platform, now known as X, must comply with new laws designed to combat fake news and Russian propaganda
In before Musk calls EU a pedophile.
🤞 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
You realize Americans are not subject to German law, yes?
That’s … not how reality works. Sure, a rich guy isn’t going to get it, but if you do something bad enough in Germany and run to the US, the US will ABSOLUTELY ship you back to Germany so that you can be under the jurisdiction of their laws. Even if you were a US citizen.
So I can post something illegal in Germany on the Internet and you think that I should be extradited?
Nope, but my point is extradition treaties exist. It’s not up to me what the US or German governments ship people over for, but they can and will help each other to reach out past borders.
Ok sure. A Government can do whatever it wants in collaboration with another government. regardless of laws, rights, morality, or anything that can be enforced via violence. But I don’t really see that as a “gotcha” or something that you should bring up in normal conversation.
They aren’t ignoring laws to do it. It’s literally a legal agreement. This started as a comment about what laws people are subject to. If you cannot understand how pointing out that they legally reach out past their borders to make people subject to laws everywhere is relevant… You might need to work on reading comprehension.
So let me ask you directly. Am I, as a US Citizen, living in the US, and currently in the US, subject to German Laws? To be clear I understand that extradiction treaty’s exist. But that only applies if I break German Law, while I’m in Germany, not in any other situation.
Realize? Yes. Holding the thinnest shred of hope for some forgotten treaty agreement? Also yes.
I’d also settle for any country telling him to fuck right off with any of his business if he continues to be a bag of shit. That might also work.
That’s probably what will end up happening. But how? Is the EU going to ban Twitter traffic like China does?
Are you kidding? Half of the European leaders met privately with him while visiting the UN. This is all talk, they’re not gonna do anything to Musk cause he owns half of them, or they’re at least trying to keep him happy so he’ll build a Tesla plant in their country
Nonsense
1 European leaders met him while visiting. Hardly bending the knee, more so politicians wooing a notorious narcissist.
You’re delusional if you think they don’t meet privately with him and don’t tell you
So sources when you think they’re on your side but conspiracy when they are not? Ok
Sadly you’re probably right on the money, especially the Germans+Auto Industry. One can dream at least
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.
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
Don’t warn. Act. Fine him. It won’t hurt him much, but would generate additional funds for European needs. Actively create Fediverse accounts that interact with the public. And so on…
nothing like a stern warning to swiftly correct a billionaire megalomaniac destructive antics in my experience.
That’s it Mr. Musk, sir. You’re officially on notice. (I hope that’s ok, sir?)
X, now rated #1 in disinformation!
Ban, or ban not. There is no warn.
Elon Musk: “this is a feature, not a bug”
Late stage enshitification
