Elon is the most frustrating public figure maybe ever. He’s so close to being ourguy, but he constantly cucks out in the biggest moments. I chalk it up to his autism; he’s extremely suggestible.
I'd be surprised if Elon didn't have some form of 'tism. He wants to be liked but has zero filter, like regularly asking female employees if they want to have his babies and giving them stupid names when they're born.
His behaviour suggests some kind of autism which is probably a good thing that he's hanging out with Trump and MAGA so much recently.
This is a bad move, the only silver lining is if Trump wins this might actually backfire on Brazil in that now they're going to be alone on this while others are worried about dealing with Twitter when they have close ties to the sitting president.
It could be a form of malicious compliance as well. I'm not coping, I have no idea that this will be the case; but I do wonder if there is a mechanism where they are going to slow-walk any enforcement mechanism, or give obvious warnings, or even just refuse to ban non Brazilian accounts that are just repeater accounts. Kind of like how Trump makes Truth Social posts, and people just repost those on Twitter.
Actually... that's an interesting idea. Get the dissidents to use Truth Social.
Brazil was cracking down on all VPN access to stop Twitter so by censoring only from Brazil the Brazilians can still use VPN to see it uncensored, but now the state won't aggressively try to round up those VPN users.
This isn’t a purity test. The vast majority of Elon’s value to us is as a free speech advocate who is also in control of one of the biggest social media platforms in the world. If he’s cucking on free speech, he’s almost useless.
This is like if Trump suddenly went soft on illegal immigration. Some principles cannot be sacrificed on the altar of “the lesser evil”.
This is why I never praise elon he is a flip flopping, wishy washy, fence sitter like tim pool. He does not commit to anything and when it comes time to prove your determination he kowtows to pressure. He does this every single time. It's rather embarrassing, actually that this switch hitter is part of the face of the right. Makes the entire movement look weak.

I suppose that's a silver lining.
This is the real concern. When the EU puts its foot down, businesses comply. We might be headed for a very Balkanized internet very soon.
well thats fucking disappointing. I still want to belueve brazilians got something to hostage him over
I honestly don't understand what he gains from this.
Surely the ad revenue Brazil brings, can't offset the cost of all the extra legal bullshit.
You have to remember he hired a World Economic Forum minion as Twatter's CEO. Just like Trump he's the King of bad hiring decisions.
That's before even bringing up his divorce history.
Perfect is the enemy of good.

While you wait for perfection, they advance.
I swear this "win" never gets anything done because we're so autistic with our mental masturbation that we wait for perfection...
Thankfully, this will be moot next month.
Your NASA spend 50 million American dollars trying make perfect space pen. In Soviet Russia we use pencil.

Hey. I don’t know if you know this.
But Elon is literally a DoD contractor.
Yes. He collaborates with governments.
