Why threaten to fine them, just fine them.
205
most governments are required to "act in good faith" while almost zero businesses are legally required to do that.
Good faith typically starts with notifications and warnings.

Does this mean the CEO can no longer visit the factory in Brandenburg until this is settled?
Please tell me he can no longer visit the factory in Brandenburg.

Why does Twitter have a factory? ⊙﹏⊙
44
Tesla does

Ah that makes sense... Thought Twitter had a factory and got all confused
43
You think those tweets manufacture themselves!?
47
Twatter has "factories," they are called farms and are the ones producing much of the nazi, political, racist, bigoted, misogynistic, etc... propaganda for various foreign and domestic markets for a price.

Germany supported Musk - he built a Tesla factory in Brandenburg (Eastern Germany) promising jobs, tax money and prestige
Nobody's talking about the environmental damage but that's fine, it's an international corporation so we can live with it I think
40
On the bright side, Tesla has a hard time finding workers in Brandenburg, because pay and benefits are just not as good as the other car manufacturers. Also working conditions are to "American" for Germans and nobody wants to work for Musk

Laughs then cries in American

Yes, they suck a lot of ground water for the factory.

the birds won't come from thin air.

No wonder that cunt was pumping Doge.

His kids have the weirdest names...

Whats most surprising to me is the idea that Twitter, the company purchased for over $40b, only brings in $18m per year worldwide
58
Thats just from twitter blue as far as i can tell
37
Twitter deals in influence. Ad revenue is just a facade. Twitter is the only way to bypass mainstream media to get information out that fascists want to suppress.
-42
I mean, it used to be until it was bought by a fascist
44
It's also a business, and you can't exactly pay your creditors, landlords, and employees in 'influence'.
30
What about exposure
13
Influence swings elections

Like the Red Wave Elon was trying to push that never happened?
24
How did he not see this coming?
36
Because like so many of the obscenely rich Elon doesnt think the rules apply to him.

I'll be shocked if they end up applying in any meaningful way...
28
Well, the EU has a history of actually walking the walk when it comes to fines against tech firms. I know this is a German law specifically, but I'd actually fully expect them to be fined if found in violation of the law. Question is how long it takes to prove, what the proven extent is going to be, and hence, what the fine is going to be.
53
And are they really able to enforce it?

And frankly I'm just getting tired of the idiocy.

He repeated over and over again Twitter would comply with the law, but otherwise not remove content.
So far he's been silencing anyone dating to call him a twat but refuses to comply with the law that forbids him protect nazis.
5
No prob. Elon will do what he did to the landlord of his building and to his vendors--he just won't pay! No one thought of that before!
Checkmate, Germany!

I love European countries manr, they always stick it to these piece of shit corporations like Twitter and apple.
14
This makes me very happy. I am going to get a celebratory drink.
Of course if it doesn’t end up happening I’ll need a consolation drink.
14
While we're waiting to see if anything happens we might as well have a drink.
12
That’s a very good point. In fact, a toast to your very good point! Cheers and bottoms up!

Twitter: But…but…we really like Nazis and want to spread their beliefs everywhere! This is so unfair!
10
Let that sink in

Pretty sure you need to make an attempt before you can claim a failure.

I'm sure this is nothing a pump and dump of dogicoin followed by mocking disabled employees won't fix.

But somehow, Twitter will continue to exist in a state of being unprofitable and owing money to every country where it operates.
3
It is actually a very small amount of money. It just sounds like more when phrased that way.

Then why even have Twitter Blue?
1
Because Musk wants to. Musk isn't really an intelligent business men in this regard. He is great in creating hype but from an economical perspective he is an moron. Chances even ignoring the bad press and loss of value due to pissing off users, Twitter Blue costs Twitter more than it will ever make.

Musk: “Worth it”
