People voted for him that don’t like him because they hold their nose and vote for their party.

Honestly if you were hypothetically able to get everybody out on the day, you would probably find the result was similar, albeit it may have swung given the narrow margin as is.

Maybe we should have a moratorium on AI development until there’s some sort of international legal framework agreed upon. Easier said than done maybe in terms of diplomacy but. It feels like one of those things we shouldn’t be fucking about with before we’re prepared.

Jesus…

I feel like, we need to get our shit together, ditch nationalism and confederate Europe so we can compete against and balance out the other centres of power, i.e. the US, China, Russia (sort of, because Nukes).

The vuvuzelas would really add to the already ominous nature of it all… 😬

Haha! Spooky.

Immediately reminded me of the creepy boss from Human Traffic.

It’s uncanny. 😆

I second this. For the love of god get us a decent GM. 😆

An angry MAGA type called me a Eurocuck the other day. I’m owning it. 😆

I made the mistake of replying to several DMs before I realised what was going on. 😬

I take it BlueSky has a bit of a problem with bots?

No Austria and Germany aren’t communist…

There’s five (self-professed) communist countries remaining in the world. China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba and North Korea.

You could go back and forth on whether or not any or all of them actually are communist or just use communist symbolism.

Because he has no right to be involved in our democratic process, much less to cherry-pick half truths, spread disinfo, donate to campaigns etc. He’s also in theory about to be part of a foreign government.
January 14, 2025 at 4:11 AM
It has nothing to do with having opinions. He is actively trying to influence foreign elections and undermine democratically elected governments here. He has far more influence than you or I.

They’re fascist because their ideological beliefs align with fascism? I dunno how else to simplify that!
January 14, 2025 at 4:02 AM
I didn’t say he’s a fascist but it does apply to the parties he’s trying to get elected in Germany and Austria.
January 14, 2025 at 3:37 AM
What is it you think fascism is?

I’m not far-right, I’m not an ultranationalist (or at all), I strongly oppose authoritarianism, autocracy, any kind of ethnic-supremacy. I think military should be for defence, I think imperialism is wrong.

I don’t think you know what fascism is. But it ain’t me. 😛

I’m from here and I’d rather not have some sociopathic, billionaire from overseas attempting to destabilise our governments and influence our elections. And with suspiciously similar patterns and themes to Russia.

In the last week musk has heavily plugged fascists in Germany and Austria, spread disinformation about elections in Romania and waded into the scandal in the UK, cherry picking and lying and blaming the new (left) gov while ignoring the fact the previous (right) gov was in power for 14 years… 🤦‍♂️
January 14, 2025 at 3:07 AM
Curious as to where he’s going with that. I don’t know enough about AI to offer any opinion. Other than it worries me somewhat… But then, everything worries me at the moment haha.

Absolutely savage rebuke mate. Nice one.

What lie did I spread?

Well played. 😆

If the issue with ByteDance was national security, spreading disinformation, and espionage I don't see how Musk would be much of an improvement.
