    I think this is the right question. If they can show something he has done is illegal then take it to court. I can’t stand the guy and hope they can nail him if he’s broken the law.

    There is a separate issue here which is whether regulations need to change because it’s not appropriate to have media in the hands of individuals or big corporations. Yet this has been acceptable to politicians when it was Rupert Murdoch, or Silvio Berlusconi or various other media barons - why is Musk any different? Politicians have spent decades cosying up to such media barons and letting them have power over democracies.

    The whole system needs to be changed - this is not just about one billionaire, it’s all of them and their use of the media to control the public discourse.

      That is one avenue. But there’s no time for that. So. Unless you’re just going to get mowed down in the street by an idiot techbro with more money than sense who’s high on some toxic meth/ket drug because you’re so locked into the way we did things in the 1800s, you’ll need to think of something.

      Aaaaaaannnnd - Go.
