one of the best things about being in Europe is how much better online experiences are, from no or fewer ads on Amazon prime to less spam and way easier processes for unsubscribing

And he’s still a billionaire 🤷‍♀️

Billionaires are all buying what Trump is selling. Musk taught them it results in astronomical rates of return.

Can you imagine how much "better" they'll be w/o EU regulation?

Man with $300 million Hawaii compound currently having a 40-year-old loser midlife crisis becomes agitated by regulatory activities that might put a tiny dent in his oversize bank account.

It is the only thing that,Suck, cares about
He wants to use the US government,to bully other countries
He gave the Orange guy,a million,for his services
Everything else,he rambled on about is smoke screen
Except for you,for the past two days,all everyone is going on about,is removing fact checkers

This is EXACTLY why John Elkann on Meta’s board is the real power move! Europe isn’t playing about AI regulations (unlike the U.S.). Meta’s already hitting walls. Elkann IS Europe! He’s got the clout to navigate this & turn it into a win for Meta. Typical Americans hyped about that UFC guy, though.😒

We need a GDPR here but instead we’re gonna muscle the EU to abandon theirs.

The response is easy, support a global American boycott. Also, buy European, buy British, and buy Canadian. Boycott all American big tech and it’s time to discuss removing the American dollar as the international reserve currency for exchange.

I pray the EU gives a collective middle finger to Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, et al.

Well .. Trump has no doubt promised the tech bros he will be their paid muscle. If he is or isn’t he’ll still be paid.

Europe will resist. The LAST thing they want is to follow our disastrous course. That’s one thing they can all agree on.

leopardonparade.bsky.social•47 days ago

We can hope.

annabellelecter.bsky.social•47 days ago

Well, now we know why Zuckerberg backed Trump. What a weasel.

sylviehurat.bsky.social•47 days ago

Zuck is full of energy. Why doesn’t he go by himself talk to the EU. Like a big boy.

carolnorris.bsky.social•47 days ago

If folks don't see this as in-our-faces oligarchy, then I don't know what to tell you.

kimberleelynn.bsky.social•47 days ago

Please, EU, keep holding the bros' feet to the fire!!!

mayanak.bsky.social•47 days ago

This is not "we the people"

leopardonparade.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes!!!!!! I said this several days ago. This is how Trump and Elon (Zuck doesn't care except about the bottom line) plan to spread their brand of fascism to Europe.

freedomfan.bsky.social•47 days ago

Poor baby Zuck. I hope he’s not close to bankruptcy.
