And the judge they forum-shopped this to (and they definitely forum-shopped it) just refused himself. Whoops.


Recused? Or did he/she turn down the lotion and paper towels?
Sorry, recused, and fixed. Turns out he owns stock in one of the defendant companies.

So people blame Elon for stuff. What is your take on it? Or do you think that we must be made aware every time someone on the planet blames Elon for something?

Probably award him a bunch of NASA, Space Force, Intelligence, and other Deep State adjacent contracts worth billions to keep him off balance?

At most Elon fancied we might colonize Mars. Yet across the Gulf, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those unpatriotic, intellects pederastic and cool and unsympathetic, regarded Twitter with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against it.

Mid 2024 and the most controversial people on the planet are Elon, Trump, Kanye and the Harry Potter lady.

Wild times.

Wow.



Will be curious if over the next year X is forced out of Europe (2nd biggest market) as well, due to totalitarian censorship demands. I'd guess the odds are 50:50 if Trump wins.

Brazil after Elon now.

Investigated because banning political opposition wasn't enough, now they want to be able to block the accounts of individual political opponents. Highlights include:

-Incitement of crime

-Public threat of disobedience of court orders

-Future lack of cooperation

-Disrespecting the sovereignty of Brazil
Flashback to 4/8/2024. Guess they weren't messing around.

They'll go after Elon in Europe using the GDPR and issue a massive fine. Been a while, but almost certain that fines under the GDPR have global reach and are based on the global total revenue of the company. So they very well could force Twitter out of Europe. Wouldn't be surprised at all if that happens. Will certainly bump this when it does.

In the old days they used to say never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.
Trump will fix it.

Russian-born founder of messaging app Telegram arrested in France. Seems like a significant development here.

Seems like they charging the guy for the messaging app he invented being used for criminal activity. Sounds like he was less cooperative than he needed to be with western law enforcement. Was flying around in his private jet avoiding places he could get arrested or served and they executed the arrest warrant in France. Don't know why he was in France or crossed into French airspace and was forced to land.

The Court has long considered political and ideological speech to be at the core of the First Amendment, including speech concerning "politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion." This speech can take forms beyond the written or spoken word, such as funding or symbolic acts.

The thing that drives communists more crazy than anything is being mocked. This is also why they detested Rush Limbaugh so much.




The Democrats are actually concerned these images will sway their moron voter base. It was easier when they had Facebook et al. just lying and censoring on their behalf. Remember, she's an intellectual, which is why she is talking to so many people/reporters to explain her views.
