Elon has so many great American companies that the communists in Europe “hate for their freedom”
Will they blackmail him? Will America defend him?
The EU already backed off, admonishing the guy that 'spoke out' against the Elon Trump interview. The UK is in such a shitshow they're getting meme'd on by Americans that they'll get another 1776 if they think they can stop their free speech.
Truth be told, they lack both the power and influence to STOP Elon, both are weaker than Microsoft and slightly weaker than Disney in terms of influence. Both the UK and EU are WHOLLY dependant on the US for protection and only Poland has focused on the means for self protection.
If they think they can really fuck with Elon when he has such a large and important stake in the space industry which America needs, they're more delusional than a 'gays for Palestine' activist..
I don't know if this already got memory holed but Elon was already close to getting shutdown by Western Elites already:

What happened was Musk allowed free speech on X and removed the policy surrounding antisemitism. All of Musk's advertising companies pulled funding and then Musk tried suing the sellers of X for misrepresentation over "income" given that advertisers had pulled the funding. Then Musk was summoned by jewish people to discuss the X situation. This is when pictures of Musk with Ben Shapiro circulated and Musk visited the jewish internment camps. After Musk came back from his trip, Musk silently reverted back the old policy surrounding speech, he teamed up with a jewish company to gather people's data when they paid for X and then advertisers resumed giving Musk money and the issues with X potentially going bankrupt due to pulled funding due to antisemitism died down.
I have this to say on the matter. If the jews have already given X and Musk their blessing, the EU has no chance in stopping Musk.
The EU and UK can bitch all they want. As long as Elon isn't stupid enough to set foot within their borders, there is nothing they can do to him. Extradition only applies when both countries have the same law. The US has the first amendment, ergo European politicians and law enforcement can get fucked.
I think x had to close office in Brazil already, globohomo is tightening the noose
To my knowledge, that is because of the psychotic Leftist judge they have who keeps arresting the Brazilian twitter employees, so there's no way to keep the company functional in that country. The EU would have to start doing that to reach an equivalent threat level, and I don't think they have the political footing to do that yet.
I suspect it would cause a rash of requests for political asylum in America (or other EU-neighbor nations) that would be extremely difficult and costly to ignore.
