    The European Union commissioner Thierry Breton sent Musk an open letter reminding him of EU laws against amplifying harmful content “that promotes hatred, disorder, incitement to violence, or certain instances of disinformation” and warning that the EU “will be extremely vigilant” about protecting “EU citizens from serious harm”.

    Musk’s response was a meme that said: “TAKE A BIG STEP BACK AND LITERALLY, F*CK YOUR OWN FACE!”

    Holy shit, I missed that one. Dude lost it a long time ago and is only spiraling faster.

      It was a reference to tropic thunder…which would have been funny (but not much, he’s supposed to represent people like Harvey Weinstein) if it did not represent some miserable snotty billionaire shitting on a union of 27 countries.

      I would have banned twitter on principle just like we recall embassadors from openly hostile countries. But well-meaning technocrats are too soft on oligarchs, they only see the damage when it is already too late.
