No there shouldn’t, because then e.g. charities providing help to seriously ill cancer patients won’t be able to employ anyone. Edit: I’m not against charities doing this where it makes sense. I wouldn’t want it to be more red tape they had

Given that Tesla software engineers were sent in to assess Twitter’s codebase after Musk bought it, plus all the shenanigans around Musk’s pay package from Tesla, surely the EU would be justified in including Tesla as well? (Assuming you gr
