And the final straw was the old Twitter staff taking a swipe at the Babylon Bee, which was just the cherry on top of it all.I disagree with Musk about a lot but he did the world a huge favor by buying Twitter and pushing back against them.

JUST IN - EU commissioner warns Elon Musk in a letter that his platform X is spreading "illegal content and disinformation" — AFP
Block Twitter/X in Europe.What can Musk do in retaliation?
The guy is a mad lad enough to actually do that while also finding loopholes in EU law to make it perfectly legal, lol.Elon should just make wonderful VPN software so that Europe can still access 'X' but look like it's happening in Africa!
I hope he tries and fails and gets nailed to jailThe guy is a mad lad enough to actually do that while also finding loopholes in EU law to make it perfectly legal, lol.
Why?I hope he tries and fails and gets nailed to jail
Hell no -- I hope he fucks over the EU and their wannabe 1984 fantasies.I hope he tries and fails and gets nailed to jail
For all his harping on free speech. The moment someone corrects him publicly he uses his position to silence that person on platform. He's just another billionaire with dreams of power. A lying piece of shit I wouldn't trust farther than I can throw him. His pseudoscience bullshit grinds my teeth.Hell no -- I hope he fucks over the EU and their wannabe 1984 fantasies.
I don't doubt he has flaws, but if it comes down to him or the EU, I'd take him.For all his harping on free speech.

The culture that would have allowed this to happen died its final death in the 90s.Between Elon Musk and the EU, I'd take... no more centralized social media platforms. Seriously. I'm sick to death of governments thinking they have a right to play nanny over people's speech online. There should be a means by which people can simply cut out the middleman, load up a peer-to-peer client, and share posts with each other directly, in a distributed and censorship-proof manner.

Pretty much the only reason he's even nominally on our side is because the other side tweaked his ego by demanding he submit to them.Elon is not as good as we'd hoped.
He is still worlds better than what was before him.
