Elon Musk is now calling for the dissolution of the European Union because it fined him $140 million for violating a law he once said was "exactly aligned" with his vision for (what was then called) Twitter. And he's doing it by lying about what the fine is actually for. The EU hit X with a $140 million fine last week for violating the Digital Services Act (DSA).

They really want the US to become like Iran, don't they?
I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.
This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

10/ The takeaway: If "the Epstein files" are released, that is not simply a political story; it's a modern-day test case/challenge for information integrity.
Steps must be taken to place those files under close scrutiny, using the best tools of digital forensics that are available today.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.
