Musk decided to respond to the EC’s findings on Friday by claiming: "The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: If we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.
“The other platforms accepted that deal. X did not.”
The same Musk who in March said, “Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,” and reportedly now has donated to a super PAC working to elect Donald Trump to the White House.
Lmao. What a response. Doesn’t respond in any way, instead blames eu for some random “illegal secret deal”. Sure bud.
Weird how much that response sounds like Trump. Just say random bs to divert the actual question.
Putin, Trump, and Musk. They’re doing the same thing. Lying without restraint, freely, at every opportunity.
"The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: If we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.
Maybe we can translate that claim to what may have happened?
“The European Commission asked X to conform to regulation protecting its citizens or face fines.”
“You’re hosting hate speech. We have laws that say you can’t do that and offer your service in our jurisdiction. Remove the hate speech or we’ll fine you”
“THIS IS AN ILLEGAL SECRET DEAL”
I support any and all EU laws against Xitter out of spite, they could be making Elon Musk square dance for every piece of misinformation for all I care.

A simple fix to make it more transparent : replace the blue check by a 🪙 or 💵. Now, the blue check just represent paid users.
If they made that, they could also make it so one can pay 10x more for each additional icon.
So 10e for one, 100e for two, 1000e for three and so on.
This would allow us to recognise all people seeking attention by flashing money very easily. Bonus points if we are able to filter feeds by number of icons.
Reddit would then sue for plagiarism.
pile of pennies < Single Bill < stack/bundle of cash < pile of cash < scrooge mcduck cash dive vault
or
bronze coin < silver coin < gold coin < pile of coins < gold bar < stack of gold bards < fort knox
How about adding a check mark to the money icon? I think that fits better.
Name 💵✅ or Name 💵✔️
As if to say “has money”, or “spent money”.
