Misinformation has already spread in the continent. This will be downvoted but "too little, too late" is the only thing that comes to my mind reading that piece of news.

Better late than never, I say

Something to be said for doing the optimal thing with impeccable timing, I'd posit.

I feel like the EU is one of the few forces of good in the world these days.

It is not. But it has been doing some right things when it comes to privacy protection and so on.

Still, Trump's border wall and caged children are merely cute compared to the shit going on at the borders of the EU.

This comment will make me sound like an idiot, but I’m just coming to believe that all of Musk’s decisions with X were targeted to this very outcome. To be the world’s centre of alt right propaganda. It just makes too much sense now.

Wasnt truth social already that?

[–] seananigans@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Truth is USA only, so X has a much broader reach.

Taken out of context, "Truth is USA only" is one of the most jingoistic phrases ever 😂

I wouldn't say idiot, just very naive when it comes to your assessment of Musk's ability to think ahead. He's basically a South African Alex Jones who started out rich(er) 🤷
