The headline is misleading. They’ve been asked by a Trump-appointed commissioner to “consider removing” TikTok. I think TikTok is a giant human rights violation for being utterly stupid, but that doesn’t mean the arguments presented here ma

The fact that you’ve inserted “political” into a fact-based happened-or-didn’t situation says more about you, and your willingness to buy into people’s conspiracy theories, than anything about the situation. SpaceX is operating in a highly

Thanks for the link, hadn’t seen it. It actually reinforces my point — don’t you think it’s a bit weird that a 30 page “legal framework” uses the word “securities” only once, in a footnote? I can tell you as a matter of fact that IRL conver

The Elon / TSLA fanboys need to update their conspiracy theory. Blodget doesn’t even own BI, which everyone knows. I think Elon himself helped to spread this conspiracy, when he would be fully aware it’s complete BS. This demonstrates

Sorry, I think my comment lacked a bit of context. We are in agreement. “Police protection” tends to imply that you get treated as a special person, someone super important — like a head of state or a political dissident. It’s a bit like ha
