...and that's why they put a "good" in "goodbye"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And "bye" is short for "by Elon"

Yeah go on Elon, less fakenews in europe is a total win

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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"

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!

The fact that he says he’s β€œconsidering 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.

Facebook said the same thing a few years ago and here I am, waiting for them to go away

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Mark Zuckerberg, for all his flaws, seems to be a functioning adult.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

And a somewhat calculating buisiness man, I have far higher hopes for little Elon in this case!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Notice that you just said adult, and not human being.

Oh well, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out...

Don't get your hopes up, kids. The cunt won't.

Yes please. This would further accelerate its fall from being considered the defacto internet town square.

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

I think he is also toddler enough to do it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

That would genuinely be so good.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.

Please please please do

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Good. Who needs this festering cesspit of propaganda, hate, and drivel anyway?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Please, do!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Would be great!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Nive! Now how can we get Zuckerberg to do the same?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Xitter, begone!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

And nothing of value was lost.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

I'm just here for the party

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Nothing would be lost.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Do it, man.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Good riddance! πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Yes, please!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Oh no!
Anyways

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago
