Not only do I point out how awful it is to have oligarchs with so much power I actually do not use Facebook or Twitter/X or buy anything from Amazon. None of this is a hardship. Consider the fact that we actually have ultimate power to damage the oligarchs. Do a Nancy Reagan and just say 'no'.
Well Ecclesiastics points this out
"A merchant shall hardly keep himself from doing wrong."
So it is fair to say he has not stopped himself from doing wrong. In his process of doing wrong how many did he impoverish with his wrongness so that he prospered.
The US is no longer self-policing. I welcome the EU to provide some law and order. I hope the EU can hold off at least some of the oligarchs for a few more years until the US hopefully cleans its own house.
Officially categorise all social media sites as publishers, thereby making them legally responsible for the material published on their sites. Think you'll find that fact-checking would reappear in a split second.
He is such a fucking tool, more money than God and he just can't stop being a cunt. He got free speech for Nazis, ok prick we'll just ban X. Fuck Nazis and fuck Elon, in fact fuck him with a nazi
Elon Musk's philosophy is destructive, not only to his ridiculous self, but at this point? To the WORLD! Maybe even to the extraterrestrials. No. DEFINITELY to the extra Ts.
So they should, it's a security threat. Nigel Farage has already successfully started race riots in the UK using social media and disinformation, Musk is far more dangerous.
It's possible Europe could grow a pair. IMO they could kick Russia back to Boyar-ville w/o USA help, which Trumposhenko would try to use to blackmail money outta somebody. I would love it if Europe gave Trumposhenko the big finger, then allied w/ Ukraine and ruined Putin's day.
The universe has a way of dealing with individual overreach! Rickety hotel windows, speed boat accidents, investigations into Tax and immoral behaviour offences…. There’s plenty of slips…
It is against the law to deny the Holocaust in the EU, so is a lot of Nazi propaganda. I've been expecting the platform to be banned over there for a while now. Fingers crossed 🤞
Don't just consider, investigate it now. The evidence is right in front of you.
People like Musk take advantage because the wheels of justice move so slowly. That's why things get out of hand. The snowball is already too big to stop before taking any action against it is even decided.
That would be a prudent course of action. If it leads to a (temporary) blocking of X in EU until at least the platform does something about the rampant misinformation, it would signal to other platforms that EU means business.
Time for Europe to be the hero we need. Ban Twitter and Facebook. Open up the market to competition. Loan money to businesses where the employees are the shareholders.
Ketaminian techbro butthead has enough wealth 2 end homelessness or hunger in the western world & still be rich... Yet chooses not 2. Hes using wealth 2 burn western democracy 2 the ground, so HE can rebuild it. Imo, He has a political form of "Munchausen by proxy", the proxy is western democracy.
Even though he's the richest person, Musk's net worth is only about 2% of the EU's annual GDP of $20.3 Trillion US. They can deliver a significant first blow to his empire.
“Can’t buy me love”, but you can buy all the hate you need, Elon, with heart of a raisin, diminishing incrementally as his stock values show volatility. He has feet of clay and that does not end well

JD Vance has already threatened the EU not to do it.
What fucking took you so long.
Stop sitting on your hands and do something.
It’s stating the obvious, but if Musk was Russian & X Russian owned, X would be banned & he’d be on the EU sanctions list.
From Jan 20, the US will be less of a friend to the EU.
If X threatens EU democracy, the EU should take the same action as if Musk/X were Russian, or Chinese.

The man is a typical undereducated Trumpanzee.
MAGA ❤️ oligarchy. Democracy not so much.
Trifling? Allegedly cost twitter investors millions. I don't think that's trifling, do you?

X needs banning.
Nothing good on that site which is why I left.
Fucking

Even it goes ahead, it only prevents new app downloads. So little will immediately change.
Just do it
Or is this the same as Vlad threatening to launch nukes, just blowing smoke up peoples ass?
Or summat
Europe learned its lessons the hard way.
