...and that's why they put a "good" in "goodbye"

[–] OddFed@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And "bye" is short for "by Elon"

Yeah go on Elon, less fakenews in europe is a total win

The fake news, the misinformation, the amplifiers, the conspiracies, etc.. Losing Twitter would be a win. It would be wonderful to be able to crack down on some of the groups on things like Telegram and FB and WhatsApp. The blatant lies they spread. And lies about lies too.

My wife is part of a group like this. And over the past week, as you can imagine, the channel is rife with bullshit. They have posted fake things, then deleted them and claimed they were hacked to explain why the post was made or deleted. And people were like, "oh yeah sure that makes sense"

Perhaps Mr. Musk would be receptive to the following message:

Hey Musk! You're not a bitch like Zuckerberg right? Show the world the man that you are and pull out of the EU like you mean it! I dare you! You won't if you got no balls!

Facebook said the same thing a few years ago and here I am, waiting for them to go away

Mark Zuckerberg, for all his flaws, seems to be a functioning adult.

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago

And a somewhat calculating buisiness man, I have far higher hopes for little Elon in this case!

The fact that he says he’s β€œconsidering it” means he’s not going to do it.

Otherwise he would have just done it. This is a ploy to have his cake and eat it by issuing empty threats.

Oh well, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out...

[–] lulztard@feddit.de 43 points 1 year ago

Don't get your hopes up, kids. The cunt won't.

[–] nicetriangle@kbin.social 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes please. This would further accelerate its fall from being considered the defacto internet town square.

Clearly nothing shady at all when your company makes threats (empty or otherwise) that they're gonna disappear from your country if you investigate them for incompliance.

Nothing to see here, just move along. /s

I think he is also toddler enough to do it.

[–] schnokobaer@feddit.de 30 points 1 year ago

That would genuinely be so good.

[–] sfcl33t@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Please please please do

[–] philpo@feddit.de 28 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The thing is that it won't save him from the current inquiry. Once the EU rules that he is in breach of the current legislation (which he clearly is) he owes them a shitload of money. Sure, he chose to not pay(he is mad enough to try). But that would later on make the Twitter penalties his personal problem.

And that is painful even for a billionaire. No more skiing in the Swiss Alps, no more Saint Tropez in the summer, no Monaco. And none of his assets can ever return to the EU or EU friendly allies.

That would probably make him even more mad.

Which I like. A lot.

Please, do!

[–] trollercoaster@feddit.de 26 points 1 year ago

Good. Who needs this festering cesspit of propaganda, hate, and drivel anyway?

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 24 points 1 year ago

Nive! Now how can we get Zuckerberg to do the same?

[–] EvilCartyen@feddit.dk 23 points 1 year ago

Would be great!

[–] middlemanSI@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I'm just here for the party

[–] krigo666@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Xitter, begone!

[–] sndrtj@feddit.nl 22 points 1 year ago

And nothing of value was lost.

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 21 points 1 year ago
[–] onichama@feddit.de 21 points 1 year ago

Oh no!
Anyways

Do it, man.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 year ago

Nothing would be lost.

[–] Theobroma@feddit.de 20 points 1 year ago

Yes, please!

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

Good riddance, fuck off
