I’m not sure what the employment law is over there. I used to work for a company that had an American department. They were shit scared to make any changes/upgrades for fear of anything going wrong and thus getting the bullet. So, we had to do most of it.

 

 

You basically can be fired on a whim, but there must be cause, however flimsy. 
 

Not replying to an email cannot be taken as resignation or indeed grounds for firing.

It is extortion, and there is no defending it. Not only do we need to move away from the US strategically, we also need to shift from their systems and infrastructure. This is going to be a painful few years for Europe as we all come to terms with this, but honestly on the other side of it things might be quite positive with more reliance on homegrown considerations.

 

I mean it's a long shot if we even get there without first tearing ourselves apart from within, but assuming we can stave that off, we might be in a much better position.

At least the Ukrainian people will get to see who he really is now. They were on about naming things after him a couple of years ago, when all he was doing was using them to run away from domestic issues and cosplay as Churchill.

I can actually see them selling Russia access to the system. 

Be good if Europe (and the UK) banned Tesla and twatter in retaliation. Hissy fit would be tremendous. Won't happen of course.

No need imo. I genuinely think Tesla is fucked. Sales down 60% in Europe, it's not going to recover with Musk in charge. 

Same thing with X. It's finished as a commercial venture. Banning it won't achieve anything much.

X isn't a commercial venture, it's a propaganda vehicle, banning it would have a great effect.

Wouldn't the users just switch to another platform? I think I heard the reach of X is about 1% of Facebook. Used mainly by politicians, journos, and people who are already too far down the rabbit hole. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of screaming censorship.

What’s the feeling with the trump voters. Are they still all on board with his bat shit plans?
 

I binned X a while ago so not sure what the vibe is.

 

I think we all have.

 

In general these people will be fine with whatever until the leopard starts eating their face, I think is how it goes.

Other than a complete tantrum from him and trump - which would be well worth it.
