the holy poopacy posted:He would have started the script years after Elon got in a public slapfight with a volunteer rescue diver who had gently told him to stay in his lane after he proposed using submersible coffins to ferry kids out of a flooded cave, so it's not anything particularly visionary, just having his eyes open. wasnt elon gonna make ventilators for trump or something?

Google Jeb Bush posted:i would love you to elaborate for those of us who are not the correct kind of wizard OFAC is office of foreign asset controls. Generally, you're not supposed to work with anyone in the OFAC lists. It's a way to define and apply sanctions in the USA. It's not well defined though so it's like common names of ISIS splinter groups, sanctioned countries, known war criminals, etc. If you don't comply with OFAC you're looking at $150k fines at least per transaction (up to I think somewhere in the low millions) and if it's serious enough there's jail time. That's the short of it. I ran most of that system (engineering side) for a high profile money exchange system, so if you have other questions I'm happy to answer. Wouldn't that only apply for the payment processor, though? Not Elon or Twitter. At least until you can send money through Twitter.

Is there a point where the EU might/could just say gently caress-it and block Twitter altogether for being completely untrustworthy with user data as a service or is just fines all the way down in terms of how they might retaliate against Elon?

Ups_rail posted:wasnt elon gonna make ventilators for trump or something? If I remember this correctly, didn't he hype that he was going to supply 1000 ventilators, but instead supplied a bunch of off-the-shelf BiPap machines that were completely useless Vs. Covid? And responded to being called out on it with "if you don't want to play with me, I'll take my toys home"?

Y ah I think it was in response to the bullshit about his post predicting "Slight peak in March and all but gone in April except for major cities". When hospitals were overflowing with people needing ventilators to live, people pleaded with him to Tesla Engineer a super ventilator and he was like 'yeh no problem'. Then when the things were delivered they were just drop shipped crap

Yes, but Elon would probably spite block the EU market first after the fines start stacking up because 1) the EU moves at the speed of a particularly sluggish bureaucracy and there are lots of right wingers in the parliament who want him to keep owning the libs 2) he's a thin-skinned pissbitch who won't appreciate overseas government intervention in his project. The fines are a function of doing business in the EU - once they exceed the income you might get from that market, just stop doing business there and no more fines. Bing bong so simple.

I hope he does pull the trigger on that first then, because I bet that surely wouldn't affect any other future business ventures he might want to conduct in the EU as well.

Yeah you are correct. I got too excited and a little ahead of myself here. If Elon goes ahead with making Twitter a fintech, he'll have to delist a lot of blue check subs, but for now, he's just doing regular business with sanctioned individuals and businesses

Remember when the 1st twitter files got released like 2 hours late, cause obviously he was getting legal advise from someone telling him "This could be a very bad idea" Then he tweets out literal revenge porn of Hunter Bidens dick if you past the urls an archiver? You know poo poo that rightfully needs to be brought down? Then magically a few days later he fires Twitters General Counsel for doing his loving job?

It's not well defined though so it's like common names of ISIS splinter groups, sanctioned countries, known war criminals, etc. OFAC is part of the Bank Secrecy Act which applies to all financial institutions. This can include jewelry shops and any place that cashes checks. I dont think Twitter counts as a financial institution. It does qualify for a number of privacy related regulations and laws tho (which tends to be more scattershot in the US than anywhere else). Twitter is going to get hammered for it and is under a consent decree with the FTC for loving up on protecting people's data and privacy, and the Europeans are already threatening them with action based on thei own privacy related laws (namely the GDPR).

So when someone else stole "his" spotlight and went ahead and rescued the kids, he got so mad that he became an easy mark for some scammer that pretended to have dirt on the main rescuer. That's how I read it at the time at least.

That's how I read it at the time at least. I’m afraid the truth is much worse, Pettaya is a hot spot for divers and also child sex tourism, and only one of those aspects were known to Elon, who, like any conservative, is only capable of making an accusation through projection.

"haha, all expats in South Asia are sex criminals" is a common trope, there isn't more behind it than that, Elon just isn't thoughtful enough to come up with more than the most basic and cliché quips even when he's trying to insult somebody.
