X-Last, Indivisible’s proposal to address twitter’s decline, hasn’t been mentioned yet according to search. Apologies otherwise, emphasis added:
The X-last approach is a simple, low-risk approach anyone and any organization can take to step back from X and help build community on emerging safer and better platforms. Adoption of the strategy means simply this: A commitment to posting to X-alternatives first, and posting to X, if at all, last.
Tbh, I never really got into Twitter, but I did have an account, which I jettisoned last winter. I’m finding Threads to be quite fun. I guess I wasn’t enough of a user to know what it’s lacking from Twitter, but I like the interface and it’s pretty intuitive for me. Then again, I do know Instagram. I finally got a Blue Sky account last week, and it just seemed clunky compared with Threads, just like how I found Mastodon. So Threads it is for me and there’s no way in hell I’m signing up to Twitter for the foreseeable future.
The favorite thing I read about this lawsuit is there was an arbitration clause and in fact the former employee tried to go through the arbitration process. Twitter never paid its side of the arbitration fee, so now it’s in court anyway. Presumably whoever it was in charge of paying for arbitration got sacked themselves.
Meanwhile in Scandinavia Elmo cannot send a parcel, let alone ship parts or cars. Cannot service charging stations. Tesla is effectively shut down.
It looks like he thinks he can outlast the unions. — that is one bet I would happily take: Elmo is going to fold the second the first shareholder complains.
The Scandinavian unions can do this until the cows come home.
Only in Sweden at the moment. Sure, the Danish, Norwegian and Finnish unions are in it too, but only by blocking anything send to Tesla in Sweden.
If you want a Tesla in Denmark it is quite possible at the moment.
Should Musk do something stupid, it can change fast.
They’re interfering with his free speech! He’s a free speech absolutist, how dare they decide to advertise or not based upon what he said! I’m pretty sure it violates the constitution or something.
Right? He just seems like he’s never been denied anything he wants, until recently.
Meanwhile, and I’m not going to link to this, people have started attaching community notes to some of those pervasive ads:
Be cautious if purchasing from this store as it is part of an Al generated network of stores selling dropshipped products. The products may be overpriced, unfit for purpose and/or may not be shipped at all.
In that interview with Andrew that I watched, Elon bragged about how he goes along with about 97% of the rules and regulations regarding business permits and the like. He seemed to think that was good enough and nobody should worry about all the ones he ignores. As if the substance of the ones he ignores shouldn’t matter.
That’s not an exact quote of what he said, but it was certainly what he implied.
[quote=]3F, which covers multiple industries in Denmark, has limited its sympathy strike to its Transportation arm, which union chair Jan Villadsen explained will mean transportation workers at docks, including drivers, won’t unload or transport Tesla vehicles bound for Sweden.

Shall we try to predict how long it will take Elmo(“I disagree with the idea of Unions”) to pick a fight with ALL Scandinavian unions plus a few choice German ones?
Imagine for a moment if Iger was as thin skinned and reactionary as Musk. He could destroy Musk with a snap of his fingers. Every Marvel villain, every incompetent sitcom boss, every negative anything in Disney controlled properties could be a Musk parody. And Musk would never recover.
Or he can just direct his army of mouse-branded lawyers to annihilate X’s legal team, 2 interns and a very confused SpaceX engineer.
You mean Elmo will find new ways to punch his own balls? Elmo doesn’t need anyone else to hurt him. It is the one field where he really is outstanding.
