   Elon #Musk has just called himself “Dark Maga” during a rally with #Trump. How can science or European government institutions still justify being active on X, a de-facto right-wing extremist propaganda platform?

     Here's Europe's problem: Trump's gonna win, that's just how it is.
     
     And it puts European institutions in a very tricky situation.
     
     Over the past decade, they've hit American companies with some really big fines, and the investors of those companies are about to be the actual guys in the Whitehouse.
     
     If you think they're not going to get that money back back, you're dreaming.
     
     The question is whose gonna get chopped up, and everyone's answer is "not me, the other guy". So everyone is playing it cool and trying not to do anything that will draw attention to themselves.

     @cjd @christianschwaegerl I really hope the EU shakedown regime will finally end, maybe they’ll actually let European companies grow instead of betting on being able to fine random American companies for billions

     You don't have to hope.
     Vance is Thiel's guy.
     The same Thiel who famously dropped $10mn to terminate Gawker for outing him.
     Blue blooded families are gonna get ruined over this.

     @newt @christianschwaegerl @cjd I hope they won’t have to think but will just be forced into it by reality

     @christianschwaegerl Twitter is not even as bad today as it was in 2016 when it was a publicly traded company being run by american liberals.
