    In his shoes, I would think twice - does their team really want to present their dirtiest laundry to the world - such as owing an election to a media oligarch?

    As for the EU, it’s a massive bureaucracy which still follows its own laws. It probably won’t change track. There is no single person to change its track.

    However, at this stage of the game, I have the nagging feeling that some American may downregulate Elon Musk directly, far before the EU manages to step on his precious toe.

      Why do you think they care? Even if their followers didn’t have cult-like devotion, the chances that we will ever have a free and fair presidential election ever again are extremely slim. Why should they care about optics?

      They do not care. They are the worst people this side of Pol Pot and Stalin and still get all the votes for the republican party.

      I think we should collectively block twitter on our routers and be done with it.
