No, but they are the only vehicle members of the Church of the Crypto Musk are allowed to buy.

By experts, do they mean anyone that paid attention to science and/or history classes in any developed country?

You forgot option C) which is part of Fascism 101: selectively enforce the law to prosecute your political opponents, target minorities, and just have something to hang on people in general just in case.

“Coincidentally” that’s how the War on Drugs™ always worked in the US.

Did the hat fit you?

How young are you?

It’s completely different, Trump wants cut the interest rates and put at least 10% tariffs on all imports. If he actually follows through the current dollar denominations are going to be cheap toilet paper.

Google doesn’t sell their private data collection. They use it to target ads so it’s the most valuable thing they have (or as they would call it their “unfair advantage”), so selling it directly is out of question. There are multiple data brokers that also have very comprehensive lists that will happily sell it to anyone.

And agricultural products would also be the obvious place for the EU to retaliate too, so if Trump goes ahead with his harebrained plan to impose ridiculous tariffs they can forget about exports as a viable business model.

To be fair, he said he would fix the elections not remove them. Lots of nice places like Russia and Belarus have elections without all anxiety of not knowing the results beforehand /s

It can also be a very conspicuous way of showing that you have more money than anyone should be allowed to have. Rich people love their metaphorical peacock tails.

I’m shocked!!! Positively utterly and completely surprised and shocked!!! /s

Tides go in, demonic atomic energy comes out, can’t explain that.

Fines need to be payable, otherwise they are a joke. A large chunk of global revenue GDPR-style is a reasonable because it really hurts the profits but it’s still large enough that the company can pay it, and it will incentivize the company to change their practices. If the company (or anyone) gets a fine they can’t pay they will just ignore it, so it only makes sense if you want to kick out the company out of your country, in which case you should skip the extra steps.

He means Peter Thiel.

Just 440528634361233480160 times the global wealth. Sounds a reasonable value, decided by a judge that was definitely not drunk.

Wait, treating a 33% result as an absolute mandate to implement a wishy-washy version of the previous government’s unpopular program was a bad idea?

That doesn’t help if they have software that assumes it can reach all sites. I remember a few years ago AWS had a EC2 outage in eu-central-1 because of 1 of the Availability Zones went down and the service that allocates instances threw a 500 when it failed to get that AZ’s capacity instead of just allocating the instances to the other 2 AZs.

Not all of them. Tesla has two groups of investors, Elon Musk and his cult members on one side, and investors that deceived themselves into thinking Tesla is a rational investment on the other. The former has the majority of the shares, and the latter is wasting their time and money trying to get the courts to rein in the cult.

We moved into hypothetical whataboutism now?

What kind of sheltered people get offended by “dipshit” to the level they have to censor it?
