Why? Because there's free speech on X and opposition to EU governments are able to speak freely. That's why Starmer, Maron and Friedrich Merz have such low ratings.

We are immensely indebted to Elon Musk for acquiring Twitter/X and fighting for freedom of speech!

His courage led to the re-election of Donald Trump and the sudden shift of the high-tech leaders to support Trump hook, line, and sinker.  Now even Bill Gates has left the Climate Change hoax.

Without Musk's defiance of Deep State and EU censorship, we would not have made the progress we've made this year to break the chains of the Deep State, Demonrat, and EU juggernauts.

And a key milestone in that fight is before us: a peace treaty between Russian and Ukraine.

BREAKING: Even more people are downloading 𝕏 after the EU imposed a €120 million fine on the platform.

𝕏 just now became the #1 news app in France.

Their action only made the platform grow even more. The move completely backfired on them.

Meanwhile, I’ve been banned on Twitter/X for over six years.

Despite numerous appeals since Musk bought X, no joy.

I never violated the terms of service.

I would really love to know who banned me and why...

And why I am STILL being banned.

Every one of those bullet points sounds like something with which a government entity run by islamofascists would use to prosecute.

Remember when the EU issued a formal letter to Elon Musk, demanding that he censor Donald Trump in their interview during the presidential election? Because I remember.
Elon didn't censor Trump btw. So this is really an attack on both Elon and Trump.

If he does nothing else Musk is a hero for preserving free speech. The truth threatens the EU so it’s no wonder why they feel threatened by it.

I find it hard to believe that Musk will pay them or more importantly, who could even enforce such a judgement?

As the owner of X, Elon is an American, living in the USA, and protected by the freedoms enshrined in the US Constitution. To that end, and most importantly, so is X. He nor they aren’t a subject of any government in Europe nor the European Union.

Will they try to sue him in court in the USA? They’d lose.

So they think they have authority to fine him and then force him to pay a fine. Maybe sue him in Europe. So how the Hell do they have jurisdiction against an American living in America?

But seriously...

The servers of X are in the USA. They and the TCP/IP protocol packets going back and forth from the USA to whatever hellhole country where someone might see or post on them are not subject to the server’s corporate host location, but the entities seeing them or replying to them are the only ones the EU has any authority over.

I’m tired of this $hit. Anyone who really understands the Internet cannot make a true case for prosecuting another nation’s citizen over.
