$380k (US dollars) is nothing more than a slap on the wrist for Musk. Fines need to be higher and continuous to make a lasting impact on him, users, and advertisers.

It's 600k AUD.

If he doesn't pay it +within the 30 days?), then the enforcement of the fine can be up to $780k AUD per day, from the day the fine was issued.

What's the bet he finds out?

If they fine him as much as you say every day for 243 years, it will just about equal the amount Muskrat paid for Twitter. I don't think he's worried.
