Mike Solana wrote:Tech’s Trump card

Wednesday, less than 24 hours after EU regulators announced they would exempt X from their onerous Digital Markets Act, they interrupted the tech industry’s brief celebration with an escalation of their attack.

X, they announced, would now be pursued under the Digital Services Act for a variety of draconian, speech-related infractions. But — and here’s the crazy part — three totally separate Musk-founded companies could also be fined for X’s “infractions”: SpaceX, Neuralink, and the Boring Company. Obviously, this is just a shakedown, and of a kind we’ve seen for years, which Trump addressed at home.

According to the former president, Tim Cook called him over an $18 billion EU “fine” (again: literally extortion). But unlike Biden, Trump actually seemed to care. This is because he is 1) obsessed with trade, and 2) now has high-profile support in tech. What mean? If he wins the election, get your popcorn. It’s gonna be a trade war.

War is primary. Peace is merely a dessert-like respite, for as long as the winner is able to make the loser behave.

---------- People may like Musk or not....I was thinking of him helping TRUMP, helping Hurricane victims....
----------- Elon is a person who comes around like once every 5/6/7 hundred years....
----------- I Guess, that the last Elon , was Leonardo da Vinci...
----------- So like him or not....This is what it must have been like...To be a person in Leonardo da Vinci's time, watching him...Amaze the World...
----------- We all should consider ourselves lucky, to have a chance...To watch someone like Elon Musk...Like those who were lucky to watch Leonardo da Vinci create, magnificent Things, in The Middle Ages...

When the other auto makers were all sitting on their hands talking about how nice an idea electric was, but just not practical for now, Musk made it happen.
He created Space X and outperformed NASA
He bought Twitter, slashed 85% of the staff, and has it working just fine.

Any of those accomplishments would be enough to cause some narcissism, but all 3 is definitely earned.

I'm giddy at the idea of him going to D.C. and slashing the bloated warmachine that has embedded itself there.
