Elon Musk’s Space X moves closer to IPO #BBC over valuation of $200 for every $1; $1.75 Trillion! Yet you have Grok and the fascist cult Ai bubble for those who love their rocket and missile tech. As referring to Warren Buffet’s 3i: innovators, imitators and idiots. Built on an indemonstrable grief: the grief of the few is greater than that of the many #WW3 #Deregulation #TheGreatCollapse #GamblersRuin #MADEmpire #IPO #Grok #Space #SpaceX

Commissioner Séjourné held 84 meetings on #deregulation. All 84 were with business groups. Not one civil society org. Not one. This isn't consultation. This is what corporate capture looks like. 🧵 Check out our new report 👇 corporateeurope.org/en/2026/04/w...

Current Events Tangents Dept : It’s stunning how decoupled from reality domestic trading markets are. Big inside money and #Deregulation have produced FrankenMarkets. Reality in there may or may not be a thing. A lot of people consider that a completely naive concern. Yikes

The oilmen demanding deregulation to increase profit while making record profit is like the epstein-bankers demanding deregulation so they can improve profit.

Today, whilst we were nervously looking at the #Chatcontrol vote, they pushed through more #deregulation that weakens #GDPR and privacy: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20260323IPR38829/artificial-intelligence-act-delayed-application-ban-on-nudifier-apps

They pushed through delayed compliance for high risk AI systems and ding ding ding "...allowing service providers to process personal data to detect and..." under the fear of AI "Nudifiers".

The same old strategy, hide the trojan horse under threats of imminent catastrophe and moral outrage.

Artificial Intelligence Act: delayed application, ban on nudifier apps | News | European Parliament

MEPs have agreed on proposals to simplify artificial intelligence rules and propose clear application dates for high-risk system requirements and a ban on AI “nudifier” systems.
