Some truckers drive with their partner or share the drive and there are situations where you have a passenger related to the job.

Realistically though, what could the EU do to Twitter in the case of losing in court? Assuming he doesn't care about the EU side of thing.

You have to play by the GDPR rules as soon as you do business in a country that enforces them. It's one of the fundamental pillars of it. When it came into effect, I had to deal with a couple of Swiss companies in that regard who mostly disregarded it for too long thinking it doesn't really affect them, as they are not in the EU, and thus didn't have it on their radar as a pressing matter. As soon as your business takes part in business in these countries, you have to play by it's rules with the services you offer there and the data you collect there.

A lot of companes thought "what can they do to me? They can't sue me, different country, different laws" and while that also ain't completely true, what the countries can do - and actually do - is kick you out of their market (plus of course fine you, and if you ever want to enter those markets again, you'll have to pay the fines). So even if Twitter would cease to offer any paid services to EU customers, they would still take part in business by showing ads. And even if they turn them off, you can easily see that beeing available in these countries by purely existing there with their service, their company gains worth, so if they refuse to abide to it, it'll mean they can get completely blocked and locked out at ISP level. And while Twitter still is big, the EU won't cut them any slack as that would undermine the GDPR so hard that it would no longer be important.

So long story short: there is no way to get around it. You want to offer your service and touch personal data in the EU, you play by the GDPR rules, or you don't play at all. It actually is enforced on such a strict level, and no "slap on the wrist" thing where the EU could go "okay we let you play and turn a blind eye, but what do you have to offer in return?". Lot of companies thought that would be the case and got burned.

That's why it's so funny, because Musk obviously thinks he is above the law with all the poo poo he managed to get through by now (even on EU soil in regard to the Tesla Factory close to Berlin, for example, but again that wasn't EU law there) and I imagine is pretty sure the GDPR is a similar matter he can simply ignore until everyone loses interest in screaming at him/suing him for minimum gain.

I used to move freight for the military. They will pay a pretty premium for expedited service with an extra driver. they expect it to be moving most of the day except food breaks.

Edit: i should mention they are just trowing money away. half the time trucking companies that i brokered to would show up with 2 drivers and deliver with 1. in the 8 years i was doing it i think one person in the receiving end ever gave us poo poo.

i think its funny because elon in allowing this incidentally pulled back the curtain on the devil and showed nothing but a boring office that did management meetings about problem canidates. When you build up your enemies as satanic child fuckers who hate your immortal god emperor and the final big denouncement revelations are “well management talked about giving them a 12ver and we will have to talk about upper management for anything more drastic” kinda puts a damper on it

I think according to Musk the driver seat isn't super important either except for some pesky legalese that means they need a sack of meat in the seat to get sued when it runs over a kid because the AI is unimpeachable unless it turns off.

I mean obviously all you need to do is make the cpu chip in each truck legally responsible for the AI code it's running, and problem solved.

and the neat thing about this is private jails can still get paid the full amount for housing these future CPU prisoners, while being brilliant money saving leaders of industry leaders by just storing them all in boxes stashed in a supply closest somewhere!

He's trying so hard to cherry-pick quotes to make Trimpf look like some innocent quiet victim. But that doesn't work when the rest of the quote is right there in your tweet. It's there! It's literally right there! We can all read it! He's saying the violence was justified!
