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.
checks watch. Again.
It's more of a calendar thing I'm afraid.
"You haff ignored the requisite 10 varnings. You only haff three more varnings before ve vill be forced to fine you €6B"

It's usually a small amount in the millions
Not necessarily in Europe, Google got multiples fines above a billion for example.
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!
He knows, it's why he bought twitter.
🤞 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!
You realize Americans are not subject to German law, yes?
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?
If I had to guess it would get DNS blocked by all European providers, that's not a effective ban if you want to deny access but it's a death sentence for a buisness!
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!
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…
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
Maybe they should stop making small fines of $ millions and start applying $$$ billions in fines.
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?)
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.
Follow him to hell?
X, now rated #1 in disinformation!
Elon Musk: "this is a feature, not a bug"
Ban, or ban not. There is no warn.
