European Union sends letter to Elon Musk, demanding him to censor Donald Trump during their upcoming interview. The EU has threatened Musk with legal consequences if he does not prevent the spread of what they label as "disinformation."

Interview is at 5:00 PT

So who over there do we put in jail for covid disinformation and gender affirming care?

Or the Russia hoax for the entire Trump presidency. If Alex Jones had to pay a billion dollars, CNN, MSNBC, CBS/etc, should pay a lot more.

That’s different
 
I thought England removed itself from the EU stuff?

raise the price of launching satellites for the EU and upcharge starlink

It's amazing to have one of the titans who run the world on the side of good. My whole life every single one has been on the spectrum between 'Shady Self-interest' and 'Outright Evil'.

Musk has shady self interest. People of his place in society tend to pick two paths toward realizing their goals, they either seek to convert money to power and then use the power to have control over how money gets spent and on what (see for example Soros). Or they try and be so wildly fucking rich that they can fund their pet projects mostly on their own and their buddies/investors dime (Fordlandia comes to mind).

Musk is just the first one to openly state that he doesn't think society is on a path toward being rich enough, stable enough or capable of thinking long term for long enough to pull off his pet project so therefore he seeks to make progress on those fronts. He basically said all this shit himself around the time he bought X.

This is why you see him advocating for a conservative (small C) approach to many things but basically never going so far as to advocate for anything that could be destabilizing in the medium term and disrupt or delay the societal progress, stability and wealth accumulation he sees as necessary for going to mars. But he does actively advocate for walking back the bullshit that's obviously bad for society in the long term, particularly the identity politics and race baiting divisive bullshit that the left peddles to try and get their way.

So basically Musk is your ally if you consider his pet project goals and chosen means of achieving them benign.

That’s great thing about being an Elon fan. He’s not a tyrant and he wouldn’t do anything like that to people who had nothing to do with the EU cock suckers.

I'm sure he would be a tyrant if he thought that was a realistic means to achieving his goals.

It would be funny if they bricked some specific talking heads cars (if there even are any).

They would never do that because it would be counterproductive.

What on earth made some self-important island functionary think he could successfully bully Musk?

I mean, why did that even seem like a good idea?

They've never had their dick slapped before.

These idiots have likely spent their entire careers with the system helping them achieve their goals of amassing power for their employing institution. They have likely not developed the skills required to think about how these sort of political machinations, power struggles and dick measuring contests play out because they have never encountered an opposing party they couldn't just overpower with escalating threats and the system behind them.

It's no different than some star high school sports player getting drafted D1 and being shocked to find out they now suck, relatively speaking.

EU right now doesn't know which dick to suck.
So they default to the last "memo". Which was "fight against what we deem is misinformation".

I mean most of the crap IS disinformation, but I'd rather see it than NOT see it.
 
I don't think the EU has the capability to block starlink. At least not without fucking up a lot of other shit. Elon on the other hand could turn off thier access with a couple mouse clicks. Who's got power now bitch?

He's not totally untouchable in the EU and UK. Europe makes up a pretty solid chunk of Tesla's sales. Then again he might not be overly concerned about the potential loss of sales there.
 
Not England. The subject the EU pansy is giz about is Trump discussing Muzzies in England . .. . . The queefer is from Belgium.
It will be absolutely fucking hilarious when Trump wins and apoints Elon as his Secretary of State as he is reported to have said during the interview.
