Musk actually buys Twitter.

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.
such things will happen again and again, bad establishments create their own opasition.
The other side also made one of his kids become trans, and he is against human depopulation for the sake of climate, unlike so many lefties and media powers/personalities.

in some ways its feels like our civilization is speed running the stupidity.
When you just think of our current timeline as having been written by Tom Clancy and edited by Hunter S Thompson, it makes it a lot easier to cope with the madness.

I just hope Musk has back-up plans, because he's the closest we've got to Robert Edwin House.

I hope he tries and fails and gets nailed to jail

I hope he succeeds, and it works beautifully, and since Musk is not an EU citizen nor subject to EU law, the Eurocrats can do nothing to him.
Maybe what those people need is to have their noses rubbed firmly info the fact that they do not rule the world, and that making something illegal in one country has zero relevance for what people do in other countries.

Even if you don't like Musk, and there are plenty of reasons not to, why would you hope he fails here?

Take personal feelings out of this. Musk failing and getting tossed in jail over this is a win for the Anti free speech EU, and allows them to dictate speech to the entire world.

Fuck that noise.

I hope Musk wins this and puts them in their place, because I am against this attempt at fascistic speech regulation.

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.

Stuff like that does exist on the darknet, But generally that is because some really fucked up shit gets discussed there.

EU has been threatening Elon with a public letter mandating he censors the platform because Hamas or supposed supporters has been posting illegal content.

If that sounds vague, it is.

The parasites have their casus belli against Musk because of what's happening in the Middle East.

Not even Europe.

Fuck those totalitarian assholes.

Illegal content that qualifies as evidence against them, right? If the intentions were really good, Musk would be encouraged to keep giving them rope to hang themselves.

The problem with that is Musk has demonstrated he isn't as hands off as he claims. His ego has him censoring trivial bullshit and letting terrorists and war criminals post heinous snuff. His censors take it out when they see it but Elon, gutted their numbers and modified the censorship AI for his bullshit.

I wouldn't have a problem if it was really free speech on the platform. Musk has rather conclusively proven its only free if you agree with his lunacy.

And by letting them do that he’s allowed the world to see them for what they are, right from the horse’s mouth, so to speak.

Can I get a summary of what it says in English, please?
CEO Yaccarino replied instead of Elon and that X (allegedly)eliminated hundreds of (allegedly) pro-Hamas profiles and has (allegedly) already complied with eighty requests from the EU.

I am wondering why the fuck he needed to comply since the site doesn't have servers located in Europe and Elon doesn't reside there.
