X schafft es nicht, die Strafe für die Sicherheit von Kindern in Australien zu umgehen, indem er argumentiert, dass Twitter nicht existiert

  3. “Uh, actually, we aren’t Twitter we’re ‘X’ so none of this should apply to us” 🙄🙄🙄

  6. You really don’t want Weirdo Musk and his Xcrement in your country. It will rot your intellect!

  10. Changing from Twitter to ‘X’ =Twitter is still there.

  11. This sounds like sovereign citizen babble.

    The person known as Steve does not exist, but the entity entitled Steve is present in this courtroom. Though under maritime law you have no jurisdiction over said entity, Your Honor

  12. The TLDR is this part:

    >X’s argument failed because Wheelahan found that under Nevada law, merging Twitter into X turned Twitter into a “constituent entity,” which then transferred all of Twitter’s legal consequences to X Corp.

  13. I liked the one where Brazil was like fuck it we’ll just withdraw the fine from your SpaceX bank account.

  14. They should have countered with “Oh, then all of Twitter’s money and assets in our country doesn’t exist either…” (Yoink!)

  15. Sort of like Temu Stark saying Elon Musk doesn’t exist.

  16. So the ability to completely take over and destroy twitters IP, code, general success…

    Without the liability of Twitter.

    Yeah, totally my guy🤦🏻‍♂️.

  17. What a fucking ”Debate me, bro”-defense. Jesus. Bad-faith semantics bullshit.

  18. More importantly, Musk still hasn’t complied with the Australian child safety laws, while he delays and fights the notice. Twitter continues to allow illegal content on its platform. I’m sure the fines are an acceptable cost to Elmo because he won’t ever pay them.

  21. It’s time for countries to stop fining Twitter and just outright start banning it. The lack of moderation has made the site extremely dangerous over the past couple of years, and using any Twitter alternative (such as Threads or Bluesky) shows just how far gone the vocal crowd on Twitter have become. The sort of rhetoric that you see on the trending tab is borderline insanity.

  22. The world’s richest man and this is the best argument his lawyers come up with? Fucking pathetic.

  23. Holy shit. They said they don’t have an obligation to comply with the notice about csam…

    That response .. was not well thought out because they are saying they don’t have to respond if the government says “yo twitter, you got kiddie porn. Might wanna remove it”because it’s twitter, not x.

    Just… Wow.

  24. I somehow initially read this as “X avoids fine by arguing Twitter doesn’t exist” and was thoroughly amused

  25. Elon won’t protect his own child on social media what makes anyone think he’d do it for others.

  27. Dude this guy is mentally sick. I’m 100% for nationalizing all his shit 

  28. Aus should ban Twitter or X or whatever Elon is calling it right now.
