What we need liberating from is Elon. Man acts like he's the new Jesus, when in reality he's a fanatical narcissist who used immense generstional wealth to cheat his way to the top on the shoulders of true innovators, whom he kicked out once their start-ups got successful enough

Was my first thought. The only reason special characters would ever matter in a password is if you're storing/processing them improperly

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I always wondered what he got up to after stabbing his voter base in the back for the Tories

Given Apple made $93.74 billion in just 2024 alone, this fine is equivalent to fining the average person just 1/3 of a day's wages for over a decade of illegal privacy invasion.

That fine is laughably insignificant in the face of the crime committed against the people involved.

The average person pays proportionally far more than that for much less significant crimes!

Trust the Tories to use Brexit as a chance to declaw water regulations. Would be great if Labour would do something about that, but I don't have high hopes

Can't have been very good at it if he got caught in 3 panels

If I'm mentally ill for criticising Trump for being such an overtly corrupt conman that he has literally stolen money from a children's charity, then so fucking be it.

I'm sure if I was the lottery winner I'd be salty in this scenario, but you only get half as a lump sum anyway, and having $1 billion taxed at roughly half is probably how it should be.

The thing that makes it painful is as OP said, all billionaires should be getting taxed like this, not just that one who can't exploit tax loopholes.

Whelp - anyone who took bets on Donnie turning his back on his main audience before even starting his presidency can now collect their winnings

Damn, you mean to tell me the lifelong con-man and his team of other con-men and tech oligarchs didn't actually have their audience's best interests in mind, and were just parroting off whatever the right-wing wanted to hear to harvest their votes?

Well I never saw that coming /s

If only they learned from every other abuse of power Elon has made on his platform...

It's freedom of speech for Elon - everyone else has to tow the line, or hope to god he never notices them.

Now would you call this Donald Musk, or Elon Trump?
