Muskâs Tesla warns Trumpâs tariffs and trade wars will harm Tesla
Elon Muskâs Tesla is waving a red flag, warning that Donald Trumpâs trade war risks dooming US electric vehicle makers, triggering job losses, and hurting the economy. In an unsigned letter to the US Trade Representative (USTR), Tesla cautioned that Trumpâs tariffs could increase costs of manufacturing EVs in the US and forecast that any retaliatory tariffs from other nations could spike costs of export ⊠â Read more
Tech execs are pushing Trump to build âFreedom Citiesâ run by corporations
A new lobbying group, dubbed the Freedom Cities Coalition, wants to convince President Trump and Congress to authorize the creation of new special development zones within the U.S. These zones would allow wealthy investors to write their own laws and set up their own governance structures which would be corporately controlled and wouldnât involve a traditional bureaucracy.

From Brian Krebs:
âHonestly, I donât know how Zelenksy didnât punch the cheetoh that whole time. That man has remarkable restraint.
I have never been so embarrassed for our country. What a thug. âWorld War III,â he says over and over, echoing Putinâs sabre rattling throughout his invasion. Even sitting in the White House, Trump is echoing the Kremlin line.
Whatâs even more despicable is that the spineless, gutless GOP will say nothing about this indefensible show of gutlessness and cowardice by their leader. Imagine that: Being afraid of cowards makes you one.â

It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds
We now have the bizarre situation that anyone with any sense can see that America is no longer a reliable partner, and that the entire US business world bows to Trumpâs dictatorial will, but we STILL are doing everything we can to transfer entire governments and most of our own businesses to their clouds. Not only is it scary to have all your data available to US spying, it is also a huge ⊠â Read more

I heard that congratulations to Germany are in order, is that right? If so, congratulations!

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net The outcome was to be expected but itâs still pretty catastrophic. Hereâs an overview:
East Germany is dominated by AfD. Bavaria is dominated by CSU (itâs always been that way, but this is still a conservative/right party). Black is CDU, the other conservative/right party.
The guy whoâs probably going to be chancellor recently insulted the millions of people who did demonstrations for peace/anti-right. âIdiotsâ, âtheyâre nutsâ, stuff like that. This was before the election. He already earned the nickname âMini Trumpâ.
Both the right and the left got more votes this time, but the left only gained 3.87 percentage points while the right (CDU/CSU + AfD) gained 14.72:
The Green party lost, SPD (âmid-leftâ) lost massively (worst result in their history). FDP also lost. These three were the previous government.
This isnât looking good at all, especially when you think about whatâs going to happen in the next 4 years. What will CDU (the winner) do? Will they be able to âturn the ship aroundâ? Highly unlikely. They are responsible for the current situation (in large parts). They will continue to do business as usual. They will do anything but help poor/ordinary people. This means that AfD will only get stronger over the next 4 years.
Our only hope would be to ban AfD altogether. So far, nobody but non-profit organizations is willing to do that (for unknown reasons).
I donât even know if banning the AfD would help (but itâs probably our best/only option). AfD politicians are nothing but spiteful, hateful, angry, similar to Trump/MAGA. If youâve seen these people talk and still vote for them, then you must be absolutely filled with rage and hatred. Very concerning.
Correct me if Iâm wrong, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, @arne@uplegger.eu, @johanbove@johanbove.info.
Short summary of Project2025 and Trumpâs plans for the US:
Abolish the Federal Reserve
Why? To end what is seen as an unelected, centralized body that exerts too much influence over the economy and monetary policy, replacing it with a more transparent, market-driven approach.Implement a national consumption tax
Why? To replace the current federal income tax system, simplify taxation, and increase government revenue through a broader base that includes all consumers.Lower corporate tax rates
Why? To promote business growth, increase investment, and stimulate job creation by reducing the financial burden on companies.Deregulate environmental policies
Why? To reduce government intervention in the economy, particularly in energy and natural resources sectors, and to foster a more business-friendly environment.Restrict abortion access
Why? To align with conservative pro-life values and overturn or limit abortion rights, seeking to restrict the practice at a federal level.Dismantle LGBTQ+ protections
Why? To roll back protections viewed as promoting LGBTQ+ rights in areas like employment and education, in line with traditional family values.Eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs
Why? To end policies that are seen as divisive and to promote a merit-based system that prioritizes individual achievements over group identity.Enforce stricter immigration policies, including mass deportations and detentions
Why? To prioritize border security, reduce illegal immigration, and enforce existing laws more aggressively, as part of a broader strategy to safeguard U.S. sovereignty.Eliminate the Department of Education
Why? To reduce federal control over education and shift responsibilities back to local governments and private sectors, arguing that education decisions should be made closer to the community level.Restructure the Department of Justice
Why? To ensure the department aligns more closely with the administrationâs priorities, potentially reducing its scope or focus on areas like civil rights in favor of law-and-order policies.Appoint political loyalists to key federal positions
Why? To ensure that government agencies are headed by individuals who are committed to advancing the administrationâs policies, and to reduce the influence of career bureaucrats.Develop training programs for appointees to execute reforms effectively
Why? To ensure that political appointees are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the proposed changes quickly and effectively.Provide a 180-day transition plan with immediate executive orders
Why? To ensure that the incoming administration can swiftly implement its agenda and make major changes early in its term without delay.
Do yâall agree with any/all/some of these poliices? Hmmm đ€

@falsifian Do you have specifics about the GRPD law about this?
†Read More
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @falsifian@www.falsifian.org @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe I donât know what Iâm talking about and Youâve probably already read this: Everything you need to know about the âRight to be forgottenâ coming straight out of the EUâs GDPR Website itself. It outlines the specific circumstances under which the right to be forgotten applies as well as reasons that trump the oneâs right to erasure âŠetc.
Iâm no lawyer, but my uneducated guess would be that:
A) twts are already publicly available/public knowledge and such⊠just donât process childrenâs personal data and MAYBE youâre good? Since thereâs this:
⊠an organizationâs right to process someoneâs data might override their right to be forgotten. Here are the reasons cited in the GDPR that trump the right to erasure:
- The data is being used to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information.
- The data is being used to perform a task that is being carried out in the public interest or when exercising an organizationâs official authority.
- The data represents important information that serves the public interest, scientific research, historical research, or statistical purposes and where erasure of the data would likely to impair or halt progress towards the achievement that was the goal of the processing.
B) What I love about the TWTXT sphere is itâs Human/Humane element! No deceptive algorithms, no Corpo B.S âŠetc. Just Humans. So maybe ⊠If we thought about it in this way, it wouldnât heart to be even nicer to others/offering strangers an even safer space.
I could already imagine a couple of extreme cases where, somewhere, in this peaceful world oneâs exercise of freedom of speech could get them in Real trouble (if not danger) if found out, it wouldnât necessarily have to involve something to do with Law or legal authorities. So, If someone asks, and maybe fearing fearing for⊠letâs just say âTheir well beingâ, would it heart if a pod just purged their content if itâs serving it publicly (maybe relay the info to other pods) and call it a day? It doesnât have to be about some law/convention somewhere âŠ đ€· I know! Too extreme, but Iâve seen news of people whoâd gone to jail or got their lives ruined for as little as a silly joke. And it doesnât even have to be about any of this.
P.S: Maybe make X tool check out robots.txt? Or maybe make long-term archives Opt-in? Opt-out?
P.P.S: Already Way too many MAYBEâs in a single twt! So Iâll just shut up. đ
