Bob I wonder how long that will last. In Ohio the statehouse banned speed cameras but the state Supreme Court overturned it.

We've got this, per Prop. 24 "The California Privacy Rights Act will take effect on January 1, 2023, applying to personal data collected on or after January 1, 2022.[8] The law cannot be repealed by the state legislature, and any amendments made by the legislature must be “consistent with and further the purpose and intent” of the Act.[9]"

"SAN FRANCISCO — Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter led to a more than $100 billion hit to Tesla’s stock Tuesday, significantly driving down the CEO’s fortune that he is plowing into his takeover of the social media giant.

Tesla’s stock dropped more than 12 percent, bringing its market capitalization down to $906 billion — compared with more than $1 trillion previously — a steep decline the day after Musk and Twitter reached an agreement for the Tesla CEO to take ownership at the company. Musk has pledged billions of dollars worth of his Tesla shares as collateral for his $44 billion takeover of Twitter. If Tesla’s value sinks, Musk could be required to shed some of his shares to meet his loan obligations, leading to a downward spiral in his net worth." WP

Good going, wunderkind!

This guy is looking more and more like a sad version of Howard Hughes.

Too bad Tesla investors are taking it over a barrel for Elon's dreams of dominating the more wretched corners of cyberspace. Hope he doesn't wreck SpaceX while he's at it.

Anyone in mind of Henry Ford and the Dearborn Independent debacle?

Love this free speech noise from this olegarch...he is putting a lot money where his mouth is.

More other people's money than his own. Only free speech he can add that doesn't exist will be harmful. But you love having big guy seemingly on your side. As if anyone like you counts for shit to him.

The deplatforming crowd is unhappy.

[Pio1980]

They didn't owe a toxic populist demagogue a platform, regardless of his sense of unaccountable self-entitlement.
Their action was the only responsible response.

Dondi, you defend obligating someone to give lies and hate a platform?
