Elon Musk is facing EU sanctions because of the new Twitter policy. This was announced by the Vice President of the European Commission for Values and Transparency Věra Jourová.
News about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying. EU’s Digital Services Act requires respect of media freedom and fundamental rights. This is reinforced under our #MediaFreedomAct. @elonmusk should be aware of that. There are red lines. And sanctions, soon. https://twitter.com/VeraJourova/stat...89440710369281 |

Of course Twitter was and is allowed to restrict whatever they want, it's got nothing to do with August's "beating someone up". Quote:

I have a twitter account-I am however silence meaning I do not post own twitter issues. Now and then I give a like(heart)mostly to twitter about animals and sometimes to twitter about the war in Ukraine.
I rarely post a comment to an another twitter issue. Same with FB Markus

now, twitter is owned by a finite group of likeminded investors (you have to be invited to invest), nor do they have to file financial disclosure documents with the SEC. (could very well be Elon Musk is looking to use twitter as a tax shelter). The way I see it, the brouhaha over free speech (who gets banned & why) on twitter is nothing more than a tempest in a teacup. Consider this, of the top 20 rated social media platforms (rated by number of users), twitter comes in at #16 w/ 346 million users. the top 3, Facebook, YouTube & WhatsApp have 2.9B, 2.5B, 2B (respectively). The real question that needs to be answered is how cozy were politicians and social media were with each other. Quote:

Tesla just got to a new two-year low today of $150.80 the high was $414 a 274% drop in value Elon will be forced to sell SpaceX to some government for a bailout all for playing god on Twitter. They’re all circling like sharks for that.

What I find most surprising is that there are people who don't understanding that Musk is a self-serving, self-promoting, lying jerk.

Oh I think they (whoever that is) understand perfectly and find those characteristics laudable.

It's actually just a drop of about 63.5% I agree it's still a lot of money. Tesla stock was and is insanely overpriced. Musk, however, has by now sold so many Tesla shares at outrageously high prices that he won't have to suffer much. SpaceX will eventually ruin itself, as they really don't deliver much of anything once you look behind the curtains (they are only good at wasting resources). |

In other words he's just human like the rest of us right? What makes him any worse than all the others in his position?

It appears like the previous owner may have lied to Congress.

That Elon is not like the rest of us, he is of the class that think they can do everything he could have saved like 39.999 billion dollars if he just went to therapy instead of buying twitter. This week he attack the main thing Twitter is used for getting news there is a whole business model created by twitter for that news organizations are now considering a range of options to respond pulling coverage from Twitter, stop its advertising on the platform or dropping out of the Amplify program, in which they post videos to twitter and share in the revenue, or simply asking their staffers to stop contributing to the service. Elon thinks it is a smart idea to replace that with a kind of social credit score, like in China.

We recognize that many of our users are active on other social media platforms. However, we will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter. Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post. We still allow cross-posting content from any social media platform. Posting links or usernames to social media platforms not listed above are also not in violation of this policy. https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/s...31261791522817
This goes against Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act the EU also states that this will mean sanctions against Twitter.
