He should remove it from all countries. What a rich dumbass.
What do we need to do to get him to remove it from America?
Join the EU.
Or pass their Digital Services Act and GDPR Laws in the USA.
Sadly, for the USA, each option is about as likely as the other.
Get New York and California to pass it. Might be enough. California has sort of done it lol
California is the EU of America.
I’d vote to create the EAU. I think there’s a real thirst for having some sanity over here.
As a EU citizen - no thanks, unless you get like ten seats in the EU parliament at most.
As a Californian, I am fully used to being horrifically underrepresented proportionally in national politics, danke. Tax our billionaires. Give us healthcare. Make us use public transportation and drive on better roads. Do your worst. I triple dog dare you.
and as a citizen of a country other than the US, we’re very used to america being horrifically overrepresented in any sort of politics ever no matter what :p so swings and roundabouts i guess
Do it. Go on, do it. A real man would do it.
A real aerospace engineer would do it, c'mon Elon, you are one of those, aren't you?
Do it! Do it! Do it!
As a Brit, I've never been more angry at Brexit than right now, when we could have been on the cusp of losing access to Twitter. I'd have been free from the temptation to lurk occasionally, but noooooo, the fucking Tories had to go and "Get Brexit Done" and so we have to still live in a world where I feel compelled to go over there and gawk at the mess.
Bastards.
Don't threaten me with a good time!
... and he believed, I mean, really believed, that would be some kind of threat!
LMFAO!!
I know right?! "Don't threaten me with a good time, Elmo"
lol please do it.
Europe: “oh no! Anyway…” Me: “Do America next!”
pls dont get my hopes up
Don't threaten us with a good time
Fucking do it.
Please do, and I would like to add a few more (only 180 more) countries where you should quit...
Do it. It is perceived much differently than government blocking site, speaking from experience. When cenzorship agency blocks something, people seek ways to be there, when something pulls out of country, people say good riddance.
The irony is that the real losers if Twitter pulls out of the EU will be all the misinfo actors.
Oh no! anyway…
Don't threaten us with good time, Elon.
Also no way he is going through. He is way too much in financial hole to give up European market. Like Google or Meta, sure they have the financial standing to maybe pull such move and survive.
Xitter? They need every visitor and account they can have globally to even think about staying viable.
Empty bluster and pointless empty bluster, since EU would just go "fine. Our continental economy or prosperity doesn't depend on your social media company. Social media isn't a critical industry, so we are just fine with you leaving. Plus there is 10 others like you anyway".
You can't threaten people with something that doesn't damage them and heck might be seen as benefit.
Looks like the European laws actually protects us digitally!
As an European just do it! This will spur a move from a lot of people to the fediverse.
Do it, coward
finally some good news!
Imagine the world super power Europe would become,with no twitter, Facebook, instagram and til tok...
Don't be a cock tease elin just pull out already
Dear musk, you don’t have to consider, you can just remove X from rest of the world
Yes, please!
Oh no! Anyway
As a European, I'm begging you, Elon. PLEASE remove X from Europe. Thank you!
Meta might as well ban the usage of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and of course the Meta Quest headsets from being used in the EU. Oh, and all Google products as well (maybe except YouTube). We are so close to a new tomorrow.
I guess EU citizens are just gonna move to Norway if they wanna use those services (I'd assume VPN usage would be blocked as well)
It would be the greatest news I've heard in 2 years if that where to happen
Please, please, please, do it
So should we call this Xexit or just Xit?
Yes please! Do it Mellon!
Can he do the US next?
Good.
Great! Please do it! All the harm you do to Twitter only helps mastodon grow.
I love mastodon and the growing fediverse.
Weren't they already threatening to ban it in the first place?
This has major "You can't fire me cause I quit!" energy
Do it, you spinless bag of dicks!
oh no.... anyway...
Can't wait
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
