Guess Elon can’t use JSON anymore
Can you imagine the chaos if X had to quit using JSON?
Given Elon Musk’s recent meeting with Nigel Farage. it’s obvious that Elon Musk is willing to interfere with politics in any country, not just the US. We must stop Musk’s evil agenda now because otherwise he will keep growing in power and wealth. I have a solution that will help with just a few minutes of your time. We must boycott Twitter and Tesla. For Twitter if you have a social media account you can easily send a DM to your friends saying why it’s important to stop using Twitter. If you use Twitter yourself make a post saying you’ve moved on to Bluesky or whatever app you choose and that you won’t be using Twitter anymore (except perhaps to convince more people to leave).
And starlink.
Yes boycott all his companies! Also most important is to urge businesses, government and institutions to boycott his companies. This will have a bigger impact.

Musk sold all his PayPal shares in the early 2000s. There are other reasons to not use PayPal, but Musk isn’t one of them anymore for a long time now.

Maybe get off of Twitter and create accounts for any EU politician on a self-hosted micro-blogging service?

Elon Musk, unlike other tech bosses, "is not able to recognize good and evil,” a European Union top official said Wednesday.
If the EU’s regulatory bodies want to censor speech in the EU, if they want to hide a post on Twitter so that European viewers cannot see it, feel that Europeans cannot handle seeing some content, that’s one thing.
But I am far less sanguine about them censoring political speech where it involves communication between Americans.
If the EU wants to try to leverage its market position to control communication and political speech between Americans, a role that I do not think is appropriate at all for the EU executive, then I start to have some very serious questions. We have a tradition that the government does not censor speech, and if the US government does not censor speech, I am even less willing to accept the idea that a government that I do not elect should be censoring speech here. I certainly do not feel that the EU executive should act as arbiter of good and evil in the United States.
Boiled down and spoon fed: we, in Europe, don’t want an american messing with our politics.
Yeah as an european I only want OUR lobbyists to buy out politicians.
There are a lot less lobbyist in Europe than in the US. We’re not safe. Just safe-r.

Hello from Portugal!
We could use some lobbyists down here. Especially on the environmental front. But, then again, nobody really knows or understands how this country works, so… maybe it is for the better.

Im a registered lobbyist (in another EU country). I cant afford to buy any politicians, nor have the faintest cloue how your system works but Im willing to come over and chill in your milder climate.

Through a collegial organ and not directly. Essentially the same system.
I would prefer as well to have direct elections for all positions in the EU but I think that would scare too much the politians.
Can you imagine a german campaigning in Spain or a greek in Austria?

The US really needs to start including the paradox of tolerance in the school curriculum to prevent these ridiculous takes.
I agree, in addition what we need is a culture that values learning, education and knowledge. It’s sad how some people here don’t take school seriously.
Christ on a bike, most people already think Americans are ignorant, ill-informed dimwits with incredibly poor reading comprehension, there was no need to confirm it with this comment mate 😂
I don’t understand. This doesn’t have anything to do with the US. People in Europe use Twitter and they see and post content.

It impacts people in the US so far as people in the US use Twitter.
Well, then Twitter should just stop operating in Europe, no?
Win-Win!
