Certain people here really hate Media Bias Fact Checker in particular because they believe it’s biased in favor of neoliberalism.

Their "bias* ratings skew slightly to the left (e.g. in no universe is the AP left-center), and people have complained about positive ratings for pro-Israel news outlets.

As it should be. Be a dick and not pay your fines the government will garnish your wages, just like the peasants. Billionaire gets no special treatment.

As much as I loathe Elon, I don’t think it’s fair to fine SpaceX for something Twitter did. Now if they were fined because they refused to block Twitter that’s different

Owned by the same person. So you hit the same person.

All of it could have been avoided if that same person paid their fines instead of playing the crying rich baby.

He only owns part of both which is why I think it’s messy. Then again if you are shareholder in one of his companies I guess you get what you deserve

Societal consequences obviously don’t motivate much of the investor class, but financial ones do.

All ISPs were required to block Twitter/X. Starlink was the only one that didn’t. They didn’t charge SpaceX because it belonged to Musk but because they violated the court order.

If that’s the case the first bullet point is pretty misleading. Don’t see a problem with a fine in that case

Zorque@lemmy.world on 14 Sep 2024 15:55 collapse

Sure, if only look at that one thing and go to zero lengths to understand context.

Things aren’t misleading just because you want every detail spooned to you.

NOT_RICK@lemmy.world on 14 Sep 2024 16:25 collapse

There is nothing in this story that makes it clear that the fines were levied against SpaceX for refusing to block X. That is a lack of context

I think every cent from that Nazi’s companies should be seized and he should be dropped off somewhere far away from shore.

As a taxpayer I would be happy to contribute to getting him a one way ticket off the planet.
