      It’s already been studied. It’s 1930s Germany all over again. We know how it started, we know where it’s going, and we know how it’ll end.

          Because people got greedy and felt they could depend on everyone else to keep the safeguards in place, while eroding them for their own unjust gain.

          Germany learned how to genocide from America. The USA is still structurally the same as it was during its first genocide and during Japanese-American concentration camps.

    How does this make any sense?

    Shouldn’t they be suing Apple to take it down if they don’t like it? I know they just want to weaken press, but it feels like an especially weak excuse.

        Eh. Trump is publicly weighing the idea of deporting Musk. He’ll turn on anyone, no matter the previous displays of loyalty.

        This does seem aimed at CNN, in particular, imho.

            I’m not sure what started it exactly, but yes, those two had a big public falling out. During which, Elon criticized the budget bill.

    Don’t owrry, he’ll file a spurious lawsuit against them soon, which they will immediately settle, in a totally-not-legalized-bribe means of smoothing over the upset.

      It’s worked for ABC and CBS, why not CNN? Just threaten to pull their broadcast licenses, and accept a settlement bribe.

      I suspect CNN won’t be the last.

        Fortunately CNN isn’t broadcast (the C is “cable”). But they’ll still probably cave.
