Zacryon , in EU offered 'illegal secret deal,' Musk claims as X found to breach DSA

The charges against X are the first to be issued under the new law, with infringements carrying hefty fines equivalent to 6 per cent of the platform’s global revenue.

6 % wow. Much hefty. Very wow. Many money. Wow. Will hurt much. So hefty. Wow. Such fine.

CAVOK OP ,

The journalist is an idiot. It's turnover, not revenue, and 6% of the global turnover is indeed a hefty fine.

Look at the "Non-compliance decision"

Christian Sharia, not just a US thing anymore! What will they clutch their pearls over next? Swearing? Naughty cartoons? These people are pathetic.

X Chairmain and CTO Musk

He made himself chief TECHNICAL officer?? 😂

Only technical thing he's ever done is writing a fucking Space Invaders ripoff on the computer daddy's Apartheid emerald money bought him in the 80s!

Kissaki , in Elon Musk to sue the EU Commission after accusations of X breaching digital rulebook

When Euractiv reached out for comment, an automated response from X’s press email said “Busy now, please check back later.”

lol, the professional wording fitting the platform

pleb_maximus ,

It's a step up from the shit emoji I guess.

Ephera ,

Huh, they used to just respond with "💩". I wonder what caused Lord Edgelord to give in.

federalreverse Mod ,

Twitter famously no longer has a PR department since Elmo took over. They were indeed automatically sending out shitpile emojis for a while, apparently they have upgraded to something more professional.

If a leaf falls on Musk, he will sue it.

He'll lose just to claim that EU courts are a part of EU conspiracy against him lol.

MajorHavoc ,

If he's not completely delusion, that's exactly his plan.

He has proven he's not afraid to waste 44 billion in sharehold value to satisfy his ego.

Wait if someone accuses me of breaking the law or in breach of regulations, I can just sue them?

This is the way of those with extreme wealth. Corporations and wealthy people do this.

Ephera ,

I believe, "sue" isn't the right word here. Presumably, he's simply using his right to a fair trial, rather than accept their out-of-court offer.

If an organisation publicly claimed you were breaking the law and that turned out to be false, then you could sue back for defamation, but otherwise, I don't think that's a thing...

MajorHavoc ,

Yeah. And for a case you're likely to win damages from, many lawyers will take the case under a contract where they only get paid (over half your payout) if you win.

Elon Musk, in contrast, has lost so many legal battles lately, that I'm sure his lawyers demand pay up front, in cash, every morning, before they start work.

thebestaquaman , in EU should add China's Xinjiang region and the aluminum sector to Forced Labor Database, rights groups says

Good. The US and EU need to step up and stop tolerating human rights violations in other countries also when it costs them money. They also need to recognise that not buying from China costs China more than it costs them, and start paying the actual cost of producing stuff in a manner they can stand for.

Anticorp , in EU offered 'illegal secret deal,' Musk claims as X found to breach DSA

I wonder how it feels to be the richest man on the planet, yet still be unable to grow a basic mustache.

jol ,

Can we not make fun of people for their bodies, or judge a man's worth for their masculine traits? This man is an absolute turd of a person and there's so much else to critize on.

lunar17 ,

Let's not body shame when we can brain shame.

jol ,

More precisely, let's not body or brain shame, unless the person if perfectly able to use their body and brain and yet uses it to be a turd.

Illuminostro ,

Or be the most insecure cunt that ever lived.

There is only one solution. More support for Ukraine. Russia must be defeated and Crimea must return to Ukraine.
