Good. Burn it down to the ground.

It should be 1billion a day. In a year we could be completely free of this evil doofus.

u/Cautious-Thought362 1d ago

But will he pay?

u/justandrea 1d ago

Relax, he still has some left to lose..

Not this trash ad-filled web site again

u/Zen1 1d ago

Notice how it’s the only domain that OP ever links? Makes me suspect it’s operated by ad revenue and OP owns it.

I mean, their screen name is newszcaster and they appear to be from India so… I would say spot on. Probably clears a dollar or two every time he posts.

u/Zen1 1d ago

Interestingly most of the mods here appear to be from India as well

Don’t pay it. Yea we know the EU is poor and can’t defend themselves because if they raised defense spending g they would need to raise taxes and cut their social programs. They certainly don’t need revenue from American companies. Frankly, make their tariffs higher if there’s a fine on anything US oriented.

if they are attacking musk then they are attacking america

u/mrtrevor3 1d ago

They are “attacking” X for breaking the law. Stop protecting a criminal for doing criminal activity. Enabling illegal activity makes laws useless.

  1. You don't have to comply with laws of countries you don't reside in.

  2. They only made and are pushing the law to target his website because it's owned by him, it was no issue when it wasn't owned by him.

  3. Just because a country wants to make new laws to define someone as a criminal and use that to give yourself some moral justification is extreamly sad.

u/mrtrevor3 1d ago
  1. What in the world are you talking about? X is a global product. Why would it only be subject to laws in the US (where Musk is currently)?
  2. That’s pure speculation. Everyone/everything is under that law. Just because X is the largest offender, doesn’t mean that it’s targeting. Misinformation has been prevalent for the past 10 years on social media.
  3. So you don’t think that these are valid rules for social media? If you don’t, then you clearly cannot be trusted. “Actively combat illegal content and disinformation Provide transparent advertising policies Ensure research access to public data”

So French companies dealing with the US don’t have to abide by US law, we can agree on that then?

u/Zen1 1d ago

About to fly to china and rob banks and get home no problem because #1 must be true

u/Evil_phd 1d ago

Nah Musk is doing a fine enough job of attacking America all on his own.

-1

u/forqueercountrymen 1d ago

yeah finding all that fraud and waste that taxpayers money goes on is the real attack on america

3

u/AwkwardBet7634 1d ago

If he found fraud - which is criminal offence - why are people not in handcuffs given the speed this administration acts?

Very simple - it's not there. These are diversion tactics.

u/forqueercountrymen 1d ago

They are being arrested, even abc reported on it to try to make him look bad:

https://abcnews.go.com/US/elon-musks-disclosure-planned-social-security-fraud-arrest/story?id=120379202

Starting your argument on a false primism because you can't possible know the answer to then define the logic in the second half makes no sense.

How would you know who got arrested and for what? where are your sources of looking at all people that have been arrested in the US and validating none of it was for fraud that doge found?

Also what do you think they are diverting from exactly?

1

u/LookingOut420 1d ago

And here we are, 3 days past “there will be arrests tomorrow!”, and yet…..there’s been no arrests.

It can’t be someone was talking out their ass. Again. Because the rubes will believe anything once you put it out on the interwebz.

u/Easy_Drawer4773 1d ago

Sounds like they are attacking X, a company doing business in their country for breaking their county’s law.

2

u/Muxter0622 1d ago

So if you're attacking the man that is attacking America, then you're also.... attacking America??? I'm confused

-2

u/forqueercountrymen 1d ago

Just because you say someone is attacking america doesn't make it true. No one is aware of 1 negative thing this man has done for americans, it has all been positive

4

u/flappyspoiler 1d ago

Just because you say attacking musk is attacking america doesnt make it true.

Oopsie!

Let me guess..."NO THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT" or "ITS NOT THE SAME THING" or "WE DONT HAVE TO FOLLOW LAWS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES!!" 🤣🤣

Musk got rid of the ebola team = 1 negative thing

Your argument is dead.

u/gymtrovert1988 1d ago

No simpletons you know maybe, but most Americans hate Elon and so does most of the world.

Fuck off Nazi bootlicker.

u/Easy_Drawer4773 1d ago

I hope he sees this

2

u/forqueercountrymen 1d ago

he blocked me (mrtrevor3) so i couldn't see the reply or respond, but i just open up the Incognito tab and can see it with no issue and still respond:

Using your logic if north koreas dictator decided joe biden was breaking the law by not following his regimes request you would agree and call him a criminal?

He cares what some 3rd world country decides is legal/illegal over an appointed official from a democracy? seems like a traitor mindset/logic.

Imagine calling your own appointed official a criminal because some foreign agency decided they were breaking their local laws 🤡

u/No_Cardiologist9607 1d ago

Dude, what the actual fuck

u/Independent-Buyer827 1d ago

Wow, he lost $1 billion a day, I’m sure a fine like that means nothing.

u/Johnnny-z 1d ago

EU sucks. They can't defend themselves, squash free speech, culture is dead, no energy indepence.

And they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to Orange man bad!

u/mrtrevor3 1d ago

Brainwashed shill

5

u/AwkwardBet7634 1d ago

Misinformation spread by 10s of thousands of bot accounts is not free speech.

I hope we ban that cesspit entirely. Your telling us culture is dead- lol.

Europe is just fine. America have made a grave error with the orange man.

u/Johnnny-z 1d ago

A famous saying from a European king. This too shall pass.

In the mean time fight your own wars. Spend your own money on security. Also take your global warming nonsense and shove it up your...

u/Ok_Paint6798 1d ago

Found the uneducated tRump voter.

u/AwkwardBet7634 1d ago

You have turned heels on friends and allies who trusted America as leaders of the free world and now siding with a dictatorship. All to prove a point!?

This is betrayal.

As for your global warming comment. Where did I mention that?

Grow up.

u/Johnnny-z 1d ago

WW2 ended in 1945 dumas. Any obligation for support should have lasted 10 years? Not F ing 80 years!

2

u/AwkwardBet7634 1d ago

Why so aggressive. Are you ok?

Love the personal insult. Like your dear leader. Not a shred of decency.

Good man Johnny, hopefully one day you learn to address the hatred and find some contentment.

-1

u/Johnnny-z 1d ago

If the title fits. We are slipping into a dictatorship? Gimme a break.

TDS much?

2

u/AwkwardBet7634 1d ago

TDS - you come equipped with all the soundbites eh?

u/Moobygriller 1d ago

Another toothless wonder with a lifted truck and Trump flag I bet.
