Musk refused to testify in Twitter stock probe — After being sued by SEC, says he wants US regulators to be punished::After being sued by SEC, Musk says he wants US regulators to be punished.
Have we given up pointing out that a billionaire’s legal troubles are not technology?
Pointing out won’t do, we need moderation.
This billionaire’s legal troubles are because Elon’s decisions have impacts on all of us.
Do they really, though?
Twitter is still guffawed upon by the media. He owns a rocket company actively launching payloads into space and has interfered with Ukraine defense operations. He’s wasting the court’s time with his money. There is an impact.
interfered with Ukraine defense operations
He stopped giving them shit for free
At the time of the incident the program was paid for by the US government and he decided to switch off access at a tactical moment.
It’s wild to find someone simping for musk and then also linking to 4chan like 4 comments down in their profile. It’s not unexpected, but it’s also not heartwarming
It’s always fun to see how people respond when they discover that some users on this site don’t automatically conform to the community-mandated opinions.
Oh man, this guy doesn’t want to crucify Elon like the rest of us. Let’s dig through his profile like a teenage girl trying to learn about her high school crush.
I’m flattered, really.
Well I’m not particularly fond of us giving away free shit on the taxpayer’s dime either.
Take the L with some grace. You are shifting the goal posts.
Imagine not using Twitter / not owning a Tesla / not using Starlink in 2023. /s
So let’s put Trump’s legal problems in the tech community as well, because it impacts on all of us and he owns some companies that do tech.
Elon isn’t technology. You can make a case that some of his companies are, but just because they can be argued as tech companies doesn’t make this tech news.
Any normal person would at some point be arrested. Stop coddling billionaire babies like Elon and get it done already.
Seems simple enough. He refuses, find him guilty, take control of any assets in the United States, and deport him. I don’t see the issue.
That would be uncharacteristic behaviour towards oligarchs for the US though.
The US cucks for money.
Quacks like a Nazi
Saying everyone you don’t like is a Nazi is straight from the FSB playbook.
When moscow does it, it’s projection. Remember, that muskovite is a moscow sympathizer/chaos operative.
There has been at least a dozen times, where Musk obviously quacked like a Nazi. This is not one of the most obvious ones, but overturning the establishment is in line with that kind of thinking.
God complex right here.
What a fuckwit.
oh man I haven’t heard that word in awhile, I need to use it again!
I love to use “Chucklefuck.”
I think I’ll try “Fucklechuck” a time or two, see how it feels.
Ah, the trump method.
I mean, this strategy of attacking people who try to hold him accountable has more or less worked for Trump so far (I’ll believe the justice system works when I see him behind bars) so why not. Musk is just another Trump really.
I hope he’s stripped of his billions. I hope he has to get a real job.
Amazon warehouse is hiring
“no u”
If you are rich enough, it’s not called fraud but a business strategy.
Yeah, uh, I don’t think it works that way. 
I like how they are saying that’s its a bad thing he didn’t want to testify. If I were in his shoes I would do the same thing. I can’t imagine it would be unbiased.
I can’t say I understand what his motivations are but it feels like there is a ton of Musk hate on lemmy. Someone should start a circlejerk
There’s a lot of Musk hate all over the Internet and irl, not just this site. For good reasons too, but I don’t think the issue is that he didn’t testify, it’s because he wants regulators to be punished for enforcing regulations. That kind of attitude screams “I am above the law, punish these people so no one tries to hold me accountable again.” to me.
