    Facebook said the same thing a few years ago and here I am, waiting for them to go away

    Clearly nothing shady at all when your company makes threats (empty or otherwise) that they’re gonna disappear from your country if you investigate them for incompliance.

    Nothing to see here, just move along. /s

    The fact that he says he’s “considering it” means he’s not going to do it.

    Otherwise he would have just done it. This is a ploy to have his cake and eat it by issuing empty threats.

      Eh, he “considered” buying Twitter and was forced to fulfill his agreement. Maybe we get lucky and it happens again.

    Perhaps Mr. Musk would be receptive to the following message:

    Hey Musk! You’re not a bitch like Zuckerberg right? Show the world the man that you are and pull out of the EU like you mean it! I dare you! You won’t if you got no balls!

    The thing is that it won’t save him from the current inquiry. Once the EU rules that he is in breach of the current legislation (which he clearly is) he owes them a shitload of money. Sure, he chose to not pay(he is mad enough to try). But that would later on make the Twitter penalties his personal problem.

    And that is painful even for a billionaire. No more skiing in the Swiss Alps, no more Saint Tropez in the summer, no Monaco. And none of his assets can ever return to the EU or EU friendly allies.

    That would probably make him even more mad.

    Which I like. A lot.

        Yeah, but it’s a bit different when big players like the EU are behind it. That’s a tad bit different to the numerous landlords and employees he fucked over.

        But don’t get me wrong, I am also sure that he won’t pay simply because he is so much his own ass that be thinks he is above everything.

        Which the EU Commission really hates and makes them go more after you .

        That could be a nice drama to watch.
