Inman Grant, who once worked for Twitter, gave the company 28 days to show it was serious about tackling the problem or face fines of 700,000 Australian dollars ($476,000) for every day it missed the deadline.

My guess is nothing. TBH, I’ve no idea what Musk’s goal is with Twitter anymore. He wildly overpaid for it, has done nothing but hurt its value since the purchase, and has oddly taken to bullying random users on his own platform!

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him spend 28 days trolling the Australian government, people, culture, accent, etc. just for shits and giggles.

I’m kind of expecting him to (continue) run(ning) Twitter into the ground as some weird “because I can” flex on the rest of the world.
