Oh ffs, stop warning him, he already knows and still does not comply. He does not care. Just throw the hammer at him, this he will understand.

Don't worry, EU strikes very slowly, but hard.

It's usually a small amount in the millions

Not necessarily in Europe, Google got multiples fines above a billion for example.

Don’t warn. Act. Fine him. It won’t hurt him much, but would generate additional funds for European needs. Actively create Fediverse accounts that interact with the public. And so on…

Maybe they should stop making small fines of $ millions and start applying $$$ billions in fines.

X, now rated #1 in disinformation!

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been following Scott Adams (The Dilbert guy. No, not Jim Davis. The Dilbert guy!) and this is obviously misinformation and a hoax. The only accurate news comes from X. If you still get your news from the leftist media, you're being brainwashed.

(obviously sarcasm. Downvote me for following Adams, not for misunderstanding my sarcasm.)

Kind of, but only on Twitter so far.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm just not sure I get which part is sarcastic. Are you actually following him? Do you like the things he says or just want to see what his crazy ass is up to?

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I follow him on Twitter, and I like the things he says, because he's such a crackpot. His crazy ass doesn't really do much except tweet and draw some pretty unfunny cartoons. Sometimes the garbage he says almost gets me to respond, then I remember I'm not supposed to tap on the glass.

That's it Mr. Musk, sir. You're officially on notice. (I hope that's ok, sir?)
