Good
Goodbye
…and that’s why they put a “good” in “goodbye”
And “bye” is short for “by Elon”
So Servicebye in the case of Twitter?
Adios!
Au revoir !
Facebook said the same thing a few years ago and here I am, waiting for them to go away
Mark Zuckerberg, for all his flaws, seems to be a functioning adult.
And a somewhat calculating buisiness man, I have far higher hopes for little Elon in this case!
Notice that you just said adult, and not human being.
Whichever creature he is, he may be the adult version of it
The fact that he says he’s “considering it” means he’s not going to do it.
Otherwise he would have just done it. This is a ploy to have his cake and eat it by issuing empty threats.
Eh, he “considered” buying Twitter and was forced to fulfill his agreement. Maybe we get lucky and it happens again.
Exactly, considering before acting hasn’t really been his style since placing his bid on the company, shooting from the hip on the other hand…
Likely he will let it play out as long as possible. But eventually he’ll have to. He’s made it abundantly clear this far that he doesn’t care about the money and complying with these laws wouldn’t mean going against the whole reason he bought it in the first place.
Clearly nothing shady at all when your company makes threats (empty or otherwise) that they’re gonna disappear from your country if you investigate them for incompliance.
Nothing to see here, just move along. /s
This is the way
Have I ever told you the tragedy of Darth Musk and his lies?
No I don’t think that is a story I would have heard from the jedi
Just do it.
Yeah go on Elon, less fakenews in europe is a total win
The fake news, the misinformation, the amplifiers, the conspiracies, etc… Losing Twitter would be a win. It would be wonderful to be able to crack down on some of the groups on things like Telegram and FB and WhatsApp. The blatant lies they spread. And lies about lies too.
My wife is part of a group like this. And over the past week, as you can imagine, the channel is rife with bullshit. They have posted fake things, then deleted them and claimed they were hacked to explain why the post was made or deleted. And people were like, “oh yeah sure that makes sense”
I think it would only be a win if euro-comm does the same for WhatsApp, otherwise the fakes just get less transparent. And maybe this is all part of authoritarian countries cutting the world off from european ideas, see my other comments.
The thing is that it won’t save him from the current inquiry. Once the EU rules that he is in breach of the current legislation (which he clearly is) he owes them a shitload of money. Sure, he chose to not pay(he is mad enough to try). But that would later on make the Twitter penalties his personal problem.
And that is painful even for a billionaire. No more skiing in the Swiss Alps, no more Saint Tropez in the summer, no Monaco. And none of his assets can ever return to the EU or EU friendly allies.
That would probably make him even more mad.
Which I like. A lot.
Well, he reguses to pay tons of open bills for months so I wouldn’t even be especially surprised tbh!
Yeah, but it’s a bit different when big players like the EU are behind it. That’s a tad bit different to the numerous landlords and employees he fucked over.
But don’t get me wrong, I am also sure that he won’t pay simply because he is so much his own ass that be thinks he is above everything.
Which the EU Commission really hates and makes them go more after you .
That could be a nice drama to watch.
Berlin Gigafactory seizure when.
I am honestly not sure what he will do but let’s hope we get a great show out of it I guess!
Perhaps Mr. Musk would be receptive to the following message:
Hey Musk! You’re not a bitch like Zuckerberg right? Show the world the man that you are and pull out of the EU like you mean it! I dare you! You won’t if you got no balls!
Do it, do it, dot it!
Yeah Elmo, do it! You can show the whoel world how much more of a man you are! Do it!
And nothing of value was lost.
Nive! Now how can we get Zuckerberg to do the same?
Do it, man.
DO IT!!!
That would genuinely be so good.
Yes, please!
