This is just Trump. They're expecting norms to not be broken and he's breaking them. So we're going to keep getting Trump-style reporting on this matter. Elon Musk ignores the Twitter parliamentarian, Elon wasn't supposed to ban these people, Elon should sign a mission statement about his commitment to free speech.
So you're telling me the only way to stop the sale is for a bunch of people to break into the capitol building? :very-smart:
Tldr: Musk promised not to tweet mean things about Twitter but he did! Stop the sale!
Lol. Whatever.
$1 billion penalty
$44 billion deal
Yeah I'm sure he's terrified of that
But when I do it, everyone's all like "what the fuck, man" and "500 feet away at all times"
See this is exactly the kind of thing he's buying Twitter for
:think-mark:
I told some landlords I was going to take them to a people's court and they permabanned me lol. The website is very much adheres to the "liberal rules based order" so to say.
Wait, what the fuck? Isn't threatening to take someone to court literally the definition of "liberal, rules based order?"
Punishment for offenses, as with online platforms so also with real world crime, seems to be more a function of the target and the perpetrator rather than the offense itself
Without reading anything, I am simply astonished to learn that Elon Musk was a co-founder of twitter.
Okay, they agreed to rules.
But what happens if he breaks the rules?
Have these nerds not learned from Trump?
It's not a violation for him to break that clause. It's a violation for YOU to break that clause if you were in a similar contract.
If I was in a $44b contract it wouldnt be a violation for me to break that clause either.
It would be a fuckfest since the federal government doesn't have any legal authority over the election process, such as putting candidates on the ballot. So Constitutionally it would be strictly illegal, but if enough individual states put the name on the ballot it would be hard for the federal government to strike it down.
Of course, according to the constitution the people do not elect the president at all. The electoral college does, and most (all?) states have state laws saying their electoral college is determined by their states' popular vote. IANAL, but I could concieve of a this situation.
A popular non-American runs on the Republican ticket and the Red states fall in line, putting him on the ballot. The courts cannot shut the election down in time (and legally are barred from changing the election date) and in a weird scenario the non-American wins. The electoral college vote would likely get tied up in court proceedings and from there it depends on the Supreme Court. A non-American cannot be president by the constitution, so they might rule that while elected president, they cannot serve and invoke the 25th amendment for presidential succession, making the Vice President the new President.
But I really don't see this happening, especially with a Musk type guy.
musk is the kinda guy to talk up a whirlwind about how hes gonna run and change history and the laws and shit and then just drop it after reaping whatever benefits he wanted. pump and dump baby.
Strikes me as the kind of guy who'd rather own a president than be one.
