Trump kidnapped Maduro to show the latter his place, but then the US is neither China nor Western Europe so that does not count.

Arrested and the vast majority of Venezuela love that it happened. https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/venezuela-survey-trump-ma...

I mean, come on, we kidnapped him. Yes, he was arrested, but we went into another sovereign nation with special forces and yoinked their head of state back to Brooklyn.

Holocaust denial is illegal in France, for one, and Grok did exactly that on several occasions.

Also, csam and pornographic content using the likeness of unwilling people. Grok’s recent shit was bound to have consequences.

If the French suspected Grok/X of something as serious as CSAM, you can bet they would have mentioned it their statement. They didn't. Porn, they did.

Guess that will be a SpaceX problem soon enough. What a mess.

I wonder if the recent announcement spurred them into making a move now rather than later.

The merger was most likely now because they have to do it before the IPO. After the IPO, there’s a whole process to force independent evaluation and negotiation between two boards / executives, which would be an absolute dumpster fire where Musk controls both.

When they’re both private, fine, whatever.

These days many tech company offices have a "panic button" for raids that will erase data. Uber is perhaps the most notorious example.

Or they just connect to a mothership with keys on the machine. The authorities can have the keys, but alas, they're useless now, because there is some employee watching the surveillance cameras in the US, and he pressed a red button revoking all of them. What part of this is illegal? Obviously, the government can just threaten to fine you any amount, close operations or whatever, but your company can just decide to s…

You know police are not all technically clueless, I hope. The French have plenty of experience dealing with terrorism, cybercrime, and other modern problems as well as the more historical experience of being conquered and occupied, I don't think it's beyond them to game out scenarios like this and preempt such measures.

As France discovered the hard way in WW2, you can put all sorts of rock-solid security around the front door only to be surprised when your opponent comes in by window.

First thing a public spacex would want to do is sell off all the non-spacex crap

Item one in that list is CSAM.

You are mistaken. Item #1 is "images of children of a pornographic nature". Wheras "CSAM isn’t pornography—it’s evidence of criminal exploitation of kids." https://rainn.org/get-informed/get-the-facts-about-sexual-vi...

A distinction without a difference.

Even if some kid makes a video of themselves jerking off for their own personal enjoyment, unprompted by anyone else, if someone else gains access to that (eg a technician at a store or an unprincipled guardian) and makes a copy for themselves they're criminally exploiting the kid by doing so.

Elon is literally in the files, talking about going to the island. It's documented

[flagged]

Elon Musk has his own planes, he would not have needed a ride had Epstein invited him. Recently released emails also show people (like commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, who asserted at great length last year that he hadn't had any contact with Epstein since meeting him in 2005) arranging to visit Epstein at his island and taking their own yacht over there.

> Are you implying that it's not abuse to "undress" a child using AI? Not at all. I am saying just it is not CSAM. > You should realize that children have committed suicide before because AI deepfakes of themselves have been spread around schools. Its terrible. And when "AI"s are found spreading deepfakes around schools, do let us know.

CSAM: Child Sexual Abuse Material. When you undress a child with AI, especially publicly on Twitter or privately through DM, that child is abused using the material the AI generated. Therefore CSAM.

> When you undress a child with AI,

I guess you mean pasting a naked body on a photo of a child.

> especially publicly on Twitter or privately through DM, that child is abused using the material the AI generated.

In which country is that?

Here in UK, I've never heard of anyone jailed for doing that. Whereas many are for making actual child sexual abuse material.

Who knows who did what on this island, and I hope we'll figure it out. But in the meantime, going to this island or/and being friend with Epstein doesn't automatically make someone a pedo or rapist.

As part of the irrational mob that is out to find the witch, you are just being too rational. Down vote!

It's odd to be so prim about someone who is notorious for irrational trolling for the sake of mob entertainment.
