Biden DOJ fines Musk 350k for refusing to hand over Trumps Tweets

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Actually, whether ultimately right or wrong, Twitter’s objections were to the non disclosure order more than they were to the disclosure order itself. Twitter argues that it has a first amendment right to speak to its own customers and that the non disclosure order amounted to a prior restraint on free speech.

It did delay production even thereafter apparently because it couldn’t aggregate all of the Trump posts swiftly enough.

They hadn’t argued in time that the penalty formula was improper.

The government’s worries about the former President possibly destroying evidence if alerted to the warrant prematurely seems to assume that he would behave like Shrillary Clinton. I can’t explain why the 3 judges bought that nonsense.

Much like apple initially fought the government it makes me happy. Period


We're inching closer and closer to a permanent police state and every little thing that slows that snowball has my approval

They can fine Elon but is it contingent upon him to pay? And if he doesn't, what then, will they arrest Elon and put him in jail?

If Twitter owns Trump's tweets, then the Biden DOJ has no claim to them as it is neither Elon nor Twitter charged with any crime and those tweets can only be volunteered as evidence unless Twitter itself is criminally charged just for having them which they cannot or the court can specifically state what in them they believe is there in the commission of a crime and not just a fishing expedition, so if I were Musk, I'd tell the DOJ to go pound salt.

If they do not pay the government simply takes it from Twitters assets. It is not possible to simply ignore federal fines.

Jail is not an option, this is not a personal finding against Elon, it is a finding against X. The only thing they can do is seize assets, and they can do that with a single computer geek and 15 min once the legal side of things is complete.

That the best you have when you just blatantly tell falsehoods?

Of course it is. You do not care if it is false, just if it fits your narrative.

Who gave the right to the government to just seize anyone's assets? Is Twitter charged with a crime? A government who can just take whatever it wants and do whatever it wants is not any government authorized in the US Constitution.

Well, yes, they are 'charged' with a crime. They violated a lawful order from the court which has been legally empowered to charge fines. This is no different than you going to court, telling the judge to fuck off in his courtroom and then being fined. You can complain until you turn blue in the face but you WILL pay the fine. Courts have that legal power.

That you disagree with it is another matter. Maybe they should not have that power but I do not see how you could structure that. You can be thrown in jail for contempt as well. Is this news to you?

Apparently one of those morals is not telling the truth.

You are still avoiding the fact that everything you claimed in the title and OP is outright false.

Ah, that must be your 'morals' in action.

Lie and then pretend you didn't.

 

[Moonglow]

Fuck the corrupt courts. And as stated in the video Elon owns Trump's tweets so the court order is likely moot unless Trump willingly complies

First amendment.

I am sure you supported to stop funding cops.

 

[Moonglow]

Fuck these rich bitches they get what they deserve.

 

[BluesLegend]

LMAO they fined him 35 cents OMG

What if Elon had no bank account in the country and no assets visible to the government? What then?

If the order was against Musk himself then jail time. And the fine is paid off by month (and the pay is actually rather high). however, as said before, this is not an order against Musk. It is an order against X. In that case, the company just goes out of business. That almost never happens though to my recollection. Most likely because if a simple fine would have put them under the case itself would have likely done so already or if they were in that dire straights they would have complied within the time limit.

 

[MinTrut]

The Biden administration isn't even trying to hide their gestapo tactics anymore.

Go Elon!

350k?

He tip he nanny that, right?

 

[Godboy]

One more bill Elon can't pay.

Businesses that dont pay their bills go bankrupt and get seized by the bank. Elon doesnt have that issue. His businesses are so successful that he can waste billions on fun side projects like Twitter.

“Twitter stopped paying rent on some of its offices and stopped paying several vendors whose services it was still using. Twitter also cancelled many contracts and stopped paying people to whom it owes money.” Twitter has already faced lawsuits over its alleged failure to pay rent on offices across the globe.Jul 3, 2023
