Elon will either continue to be the wealthiest man in the world, or he will launch himself on a one-way rocket to pluto with $250 billion of gold bullion and the admin login to twitter and lock out all the teslas, show him flipping the bird to the Earth, and say come and get it beeyothces.

The dude is brilliant, admittedly on the spectrum, and seems to have been more successful than the average TexAgs poster who is working for the man whilst calling Elon a dumbarse.

With that, I am putting my $$$ on Elon.

It's funny how many idiots think Elon is not smart, let me tell the idiots out there, you just don't casually make over a billion doLlars, you have to be super intelligent and also be a very very very business savvy person, that's why the average dumbass works and depends on the government and people like Elon are sending rockets into orbit so he can Bring certain parts of the world tv !

I mean, some doofusses can be a billionaire... but only through inheritance or just neverending good luck.

So if you are not a Walton, Saudi Prince, or Eike Batista, then being a billionaire does reflect both smarts, opportunity and endless hustle.

Who is the expert that issued a 'chilling warning?'

It's someone named Melissa who is a former content moderator for Twitter who specialized in political misinformation.

Melissa was a former arbiter of truth.

Now that that power got taken away from her by Elon, she seems kinda mad about it.

This is how fascism works for companies. You either become a puppet for the fascists or you are not allowed to exist.

This is what real fascism looks like, not the funny-money version the left likes to paint.

Agreed. Writing on the wall when GDPR came out. Was specifically designed to reign in US big-tech.

That's true. I think even back when Microsoft was blowing up in the 90s the EU gave them grief. I may be thinking of Antje company since it's been so long, but I think it was Bill Gates in the headlines

EU regulations are why the largest tech companies in Europe are telecoms or silicone developers.

By filing a suit in federal court, the SEC aims to force Elon Musk to answer questions about the Twitter deal for their investigation. The agency needs his testimony to determine if securities regulations were broken during the blockbuster acquisition.
So...it's a fishing expedition.

They don't know WHAT laws were broken let alone if ANY laws were broken.

This kind of stuff is bull*****


The deal had to be sanctioned by all sorts of alphabet agencies, including the SEC. Are they saying that they're inept?


Elon HATES the SEC.

I bet he brings his flame thrower to that legal battle.

So the federal entity in charge of prosecuting pump 'n dumps gets its Twitter account hacked which is then used to successfully execute a pump 'n dump?

Ok. Just checking to make sure we had that right.

KRAKOW, Poland (AP) Elon Musk, who has been accused of allowing antisemitic messages on his social media platform, X, visited the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenaudeath camp on Monday, saying afterwards that the tragedy of the Holocaust "hits you much more in the heart when you see it in person."
Elon responds to accusations of antisemitism by going on hajj to Aushwitz.

"I have like two-thirds of my friends are Jewish. I have twice as many Jewish friends as non-Jewish friends. I'm like Jewish by association, I'm aspirationally Jewish."
