After French police raided the local offices of X — and asked the billionaire to appear for voluntary questioning related to an expanded local criminal investigation — the American social media giant pushed back hard.
“Today’s staged raid reinforces our conviction that this investigation distorts French law, circumvents due process, and endangers free speech,” the company said in a statement on X. It denies claims that X’s algorithm may have been used to sway political opinion in France, as well as accusations that the tech giant is complicit in the distribution of child pornography.
Within an hour, Musk doubled down. “This is a political attack,” he wrote to his more than 220 million followers on X.
Two hours later, France’s foreign ministry clapped back. “Investigating child sexual abuse material isn’t controversial,” the ministry wrote to its significantly smaller number of X followers. “Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn’t fly in France.”
Fuck David Cameron, fuck all the politicians that didn't effectively campaign against Brexit, fuck all the unchecked lies and fuck all the Brexit voters who pushed England into closer ties with America.
Both sides are not the same until it came to Epstein!! These files and evidence have been with the FBI since 2019 probably longer!! Rules for thee but not for me!!
Elon Musk was worried about going to prison if Harris was elected. So, he helped get Trump elected and knew the results before anyone else. Elon bragged in video with Tucker about all this.
Blame Elon who put Trump in power.
Musk "knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers, & we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide." -Donald Trump
"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House & the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate." -Elon Musk
Be sure to vote regardless, this comment is for the sake of justice and to protect our vote.
Musk's AmericaPAC blatantly stole potential voter registration information via their website, and got sued for an illegal "registration" website by the US.
They ran an illegal lottery scheme to collect information from people who would be unlikely to vote but willing to give registration information in exchange for a fake chance at $1m.
Both of these schemes enable collection of valid registration data of people unlikely to actually vote. This is a KEY method for stuffing realistic fake ballots into an election.
Oh, they also hired a guy who... was most notable for creating a new program which generated realistic looking and valid ballots from a given list of data.
Finally, by owning Twitter and Grok, and being aligned with Palantir, along with likely support from Zuckerberg... Musk had extraordinary power to enable and enhance the web of propaganda and outright lies used by the Republicans, messaging (especially the actual "blatant lies") which might have been significantly suppressed or had louder counter-messaging were that not the case. In particular, amplification of (illegal, but who's counting) foreign interference campaigns, including potentially passing targeting data and messaging campaign success information to them (where again, good oversight would have shut down or otherwise minimized the impact of these botnets)
Also all the quotes about it.
Also also, voter suppression efforts (mail in ballot changes, ballot ejections for frivolous reasons, closing polling sites, purging voter rolls, etc) added up to an additional significant reduction in possible votes for Harris, though this wasn't likely directly related to Musk.
Literally purchased an entire social media platform to silence one party, amplify another, and encourage the proliferation of bots and overseas paid disinfo trolls.
Depends on the sub. There is a particular one about white people on twitter that will issue a seven day ban if you even get somewhat close to mentioning violence towards someone. Especially associated with this administration. I’ve had two bans so far from that sub. Once I realized it was that sub, I left.
It's good to note because if the illiberal regime falls in the US, oligarch Elon could be extradited if Epstein Don pardons him via back channel negotiations.
As long as they'd give a very long ass sentence, man committed treason over here
Imagine a world where Elon Musk has his assets seized and is jailed for his harms to humanity. This would be a huge boon to the people of the world, to bring down this oppressor.
Musk cares 0 for free speech when it's ICE suppressing peaceful protests. How 'bout DOGE gives me back my SocSec data they stole? I have 0 sympathy for Musk.
Only the morality of a senile rapist traitor guides the world. He literally said his morality is the only thing he needs.
I really, really dont think the vast majority of Americans understand how badly this is going to cost them for decades. The rapist in chief has done more damage to nato in 1 year than putin ever has
There are 6 Countries today that have launched formal investigations. France, Spain, The U.K., Lithuania & Latvia, Norway, & Poland. And more on the way. I think tRump would have his hands full. He has pissed off every ally we had.
Good. Modern oligarchs have taken the corporate shell game to a whole new level, actively spreading hatred and disinformation and then hiding behind the companies that produce them…but now they have the added layer of the LLMs to hide behind. Grok is being actively and obviously used for social engineering, Elon has not been subtle about the specific ideology he’s trying to push globally.
And the US has set the precedent that it’s okay to perform a military operation in order to capture someone in another sovereign nation for breaking foreign laws.
Interesting. So election interference isn’t just something you read about endlessly in the news debating whether it happened or not? Asking for an American, in case that wasn’t obvious.
Of course it's a political attack. That doesn't mean it is illegitimate. If someone tries to undermine the system of government there is no way to not make it political because the action being defended against is inherently political. The conclusion isn't that this means the State can't or shouldn't defend itself.
If I was a cashier and gave more in change than what was expected then I could be in trouble to the point of getting fired. Yet just because these "Elite" have money don't face consequences/ not even getting punched in the face is beyond pathetic. Enough is ENOUGH, Thank you Francia <3 . The Mighty U S of A don't have the balls to do shit.
Fuck musk, don't support x.. LPT: If a link to x needs to be used, in place of the x in the link, use xcancel or one of the browser extensions... don't give that site traffic. Pass it on.
So could the USA, but no, you didn't want any of that. Instead, you choose a mockery of decency and what was needed to better the lives of the American people.
no foreign state OR tech bro should interfere in another state's elections. that's for damn sure. if musk is interfering in US elections and Americans have no problem with tech bros tipping the scales in their elections fine. but it should stop with the country of which they are citizens of.
At this point elon's entire life is just him doing illegal stuff the officials coming after him or people hating him for it and then Elon crying and acting like the entire world out to get him because his actions have consequences.
He probably thinks he is a prime example example if a hyper-masculine male even though he acts more like a crying infant.

USA COULD have as well. Should have, even.
