> Romania’s public prosecutor’s office said it had approved the brothers’ request to travel to the US pending investigation, and judicial sources told local media they were due to return for a court hearing in March.
Right... as if anyone believes that's going to happen!
And in case you're wondering why they were released:
> Their flight to the US comes after the Financial Times reported that Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell, had spoken to the Romanian foreign minister, Emil Hurezeanu, about the Tate brothers at this month’s Munich Security Conference.

- actionfromafar 2y agoPlease, come out in the open, and explain your affection for these brothers. But you still have just a hint of shame, don't you...

- dingnuts 2y agoTate is a hardcore convert to Islam. Not sure if that's going to play with the MAGA base but what do I know
- tmp202502 2y agoTate is not a hardcore convert to anything. Tate's Islam conversion is about two things: 1) putting up a flag to find somewhere comfortable without an extradition treaty where his views are normal 2) seeking narcissistic supply from an easily identified demographic: angry, wealthy young muslim men in repressive countries. He's stylised himself like that: like the wealthy son of an exiled Emirati. He's a malignant narcissist: broken, cold, and lonely inside in a way that only adoration can fix. As it goes, Tate shares with Musk and Trump a genuinely tragic origin story of adoring a bullying, abusive, cold, father. (With one likely additional common factor: neurodivergence. Autism in Tate's case, AuDHD in Musk's, ADHD in Trump's) The paradox of this world is that if Trump, Musk and Tate sat down, talked and cried together about the abuse and coldness of their early years -- their utterly broken childhood -- then masculine culture and the world might get somewhere.
- godsinhisheaven 2y agoThats the thing about neurodivergence, it's a double edged sword I feel like. Like, all of the great men of history were extremely likely to be neurodivergent, so if you're a normal person with no mental illness, you kind of just know you won't be the next Thomas Edison or Genghis Khan. At the same time, you're a normal person, so you won't like, do something crazy like electrocute an elephant or kill millions of people.
- acdha 2y ago> With one likely additional common factor: neurodivergence. Autism in Tate's case, AuDHD in Musk's, ADHD in Trump's Have any of them have actually been diagnosed? If not, I would consider whether that’s a genuine factor or an attempt to use the neurodivergent community as a shield.
