I’m always on the fence with these subpoena resistance cases.
On the one hand, it’s Twitter, Elon, and Epstein related. Fuck all of them.
On the other hand, I don’t think that businesses should just blindly turn over information because the DOJ managed to find a judge that would rubber stamp a subpoena. Obviously that’s not every subpoena, or even likely a large number of them in the grand scheme, but it happening even once is too much to take it at face value being justified.
I think they’re saying Elon sucks and be wary of trusting the government.
The fed’s anti-encryption stance comes to mind. “We need backdoors in your messaging apps but it’s just to protect the children!”
Both of these have been true for a looong time. Any step to concede this point is complicit.
For the life of me I don’t understand your argument here. You’re basically advocating for the destruction of the justice system? So if I try to sue a company for say bodily injury or something they should be able to hide all the evidence? Good lord don’t corporations have enough power as is? Why give them more?
This subpoena has nothing to do with the DOJ. This subpoena was issued as part of discovery in the civil defamation case between the two women in the article
Most likely what I think is happening here is X literally does not have the records that are being subpoenaed, because why keep records when you’re trying to destroy a business?
Did anyone commenting actually read the article? It isn’t about Elon.
Are you naive enough to think it would have happened without Elon’s permission at least?
You may be right. But we don’t know that for sure. We can assume it because it makes throwing shit at Elon easier, and believe me I’m happy to throw shit at him, but I want it to be accurate. More importantly that wasn’t the context of most comments. They are the standard ‘call your opponent a pedophile’ tactic that the right wing lazy wankers use. Why? Because who would defend someone accused of being a pedophile? It takes out the person you’re against and their defenders. Unfortunately this tactic if throwing an accusations of pedophilia at the drop of a hat lessens the impact of legitimate accusations.
THAT explains why he all of a Sudden Endorsed Trump! Because Trump, who was BEST FRIENDS with Jeffrey Epstein until Epstein bought a Bigger Mansion, definitely would NOT Protect Elon Musk if it was found out Elon Musk was Raping Kids on Epstein Island!
Even if he, hypothetically, was the sickest fuck to ever step foot on Epstein’s island, he is an American oligarch that will most likely never see any repercussions, since he has the money, like real money to actually make a difference, and influence politically and celebrity wise. So even the best funded Justice department has an annual budget that this guy can donate at a whim to ensure his freedom. His Starlink is being used by Ukraine during this war, so he even has leverage on an American ally. No he is safe as Rain

I agree, but would replace specific category of celebrities with mass media in general.

There’s no substitute for the low ping times of modern hardware in LEO. Elon is evil. But he’s not stupid. As a user myself I think Starlink is a fantastic product, though in a physical package designed by a teenager.
If he’d not fucked around with Twitter he’d have been strongly positioned on either end of the communications industry, positioned to be even more powerful than he is. But, he’s gone for a shorter term play at an-cap fascism.
No he is safe as Rain
A perception of justice is prerequisite to a human life of dignity. When society’s systems of accountability are broken humans find another way. Sometimes a young man nearly assassinates an ex-President. Sometimes no one cares until researching for the history books.
Have faith. One way or another we’ll get the bastard. Or, maybe we’ll get lucky: He’ll take some more psychedelics and turn into a humanitarian.
But, he’s gone for a shorter term play at an-cap fascism.
Lmfao, the idea that apartheid boy ever had any ideas for himself other than becoming white supremacist super king is as fucking laughable as the idea that he contributed anything to any company he has ever run other than money, or that any of the the work he exploits others for couldn’t have been achieved any other way…
It is insane what Elon has achieved and what potential he has for the good or bad of humanity. I wonder how the pages of history will be written
May he rot in prison.
