21 billion euros

This would be terminally shameful to anybody who wasn’t completely immune to shame.

I actually don’t care about IP copying. I just wish China would publish what they copied.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but thankyou, CCP.

Finnish happiness is derived from actively not being under the control of that certain fully crazy empire to the east, and enjoying every minute of it. Every new day of independence from the Russian Empire is one more chance for Finland to say to their neighbours, “Nananana na na, hahahaha ha ha.” Some of them even say it in Russian: “Нананана на на, хахахаха ха ха. Нас не ебет.”

You may need to examine your opinion of the role of taxes in a functioning country.

You’re right about corruption, though.

A billion dollars in fines might make twitter unprofitable. In a regular company, that would coerce the owners to make changes. But Musk doesn’t own twitter because he wants to make money off of it, at least not directly. What Musk uses it for is control. A billion dollars a year in fines will be worth it to him, as long as it gives him more control.

The only way to deny him this undue influence is to ban it outright or fine him a lot more.

I guess nobody told the EU how many billions Musk has.
