Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

Important work by @shanerattenbury.bsky.social in the ACT seeking to change the law to fix the outrageous precedent in DP v Bird. This precedent is allowing churches to avoid vicarious liability for the actions of priests who sexually abused kids.
