that makes no sense. Was that an argument tactic you learned on 4chan?
Jared: "I got a signal again. I was able to translate that very last part."
Elon: "And?!"
Jared: "Well, it roughly translates to 'and the camel you rode in on.'"

The French Minister in charge of Digital Regulation has a few choice words for Elon -- roughly translated as "we are tired of your shiat and will shortly come down like a pile of bricks". Thread outlines the law and what France and the EU will do to Twitter.

Look... after being spanked by the EU and others -- Musk backs off his new policy in less than a day.
Even Mastodon had a few words on the policy...
Conservatives always latch onto the most unlikable and insufferable people
Oh pooh. Musk is butting up against Twitter being bankrupt and Tesla tanking, all while investors are getting antsy. Everyone knows Musk taking on Twitter was an awful financial decision.
Elon's stale playbook
At Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk was a jerk with a grand vision. At Twitter, he's just a jerk.

Elon Musk has a pretty tried-and-true playbook for doing business — he's used it for years to build companies from Tesla to SpaceX. Unfortunately for him, it is not a model that can turn Twitter into a profitable company. It's one that will take the social-media company down in flames.
Here's the Musk playbook: Enter a field with very little competition. Claim that your new company will solve a massive, global problem or achieve a seemingly impossible goal. Raise money from a fervent group of true believers and keep them on the hook with flashy, half-baked product ideas. Suck up billions from the government. Underpay, undervalue, and overwork your employees. Repeat.
Twitter is the antithesis of an "Elon Musk company." It's an influential but small player in a field that is dominated by giant, well-funded competitors. The government is more likely to put the clamps on Twitter than give it some windfall contract. And Twitter's employees have options: They can leave and work for companies that treat them much better than Musk ever would.
But perhaps most importantly, a lot of people think Twitter — and Musk's ownership of the company — is part of a global media problem, rather than some grand solution. And without a big, world-changing promise to paper over his sophomoric product ideas and erratic management, Musk's Twitter takeover is doomed.
