I get that there are network effects, but at some point, people actively need to leave the Nazi child porn bar.

Apparently, they turned off the CSAM for non-paying users... Insert "The Good Place" meme of "you know this is worse, right?". Paying Musk for continued access to the CSAM is generally an aggrevating factor in such criminal cases...
Europe could outright ban X if this happens.

Canada has already said a ban isn’t being considered.

It's pretty ridiculous. It should be banned. If this was any other app not owned by a pansy ass billionaire, the government would be coming down on them like a ton of bricks.

In Canada's case, I believe they should genuinely be worried about Trump sending the military to attack Canada if they do anything he does not like. Such as protect themselves from X.
I mean, they should ban X anyway. But that has to be a factor going through their heads. As well as how many traitors they have who would protest and rally "for America" in the event that Canada bans "freedom".

Trump is a bully, and everything to date suggests that if you stand up to Trump, he folds like a house of cards.

Former Republican chair says US institutions yielded to Trump, ‘the bully’
When, for example, the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington was rebranded the “Trump-Kennedy Center”, Steele posted on social media: “So pathetic. Such a lonely, desperate cry for acceptance. A craving not even his family can satisfy – he has to appropriate another family’s legacy.”

grok datacenter in memphis using illegal methane gas power generation
www.theguardian.com

techcrunch.com
temporary power without permits was allowed for no more than 364 days, grok is using loophole to operate portable methane gas turbine generators spewing out massive amounts of nitrogen oxides and particulates. (i suspect they just shut down one of them on day 365 and start it back on day 366. the remaining dozen generators able to carry the load)
epa has changed the rules to close loophole as other datacenters are using and were planning to use the same trick.
Elon Musk’s xAI datacenter generating extra electricity illegally, regulator rules
Win for Memphis activists who say ‘Colossus’ facilities add extra pollution to already overburdened communities
U.S. govt says Musk's gas turbine generators for xAI aren’t exempt from permits — EPA ruling closes local loophole that allowed Musk to get power from temporary on-site power generators
The EPA just closed a loophole that allowed hyperscalers to quickly deploy power generators without requiring a permit.

Tesla Cybertruck Sales Were Cut In Half In 2025, Worse Than Any Other EV - Jalopnik
It's a far cry from the 250,000 Cybertruck CEO Elon Musk said the company would produce yearly starting in 2025.
www.jalopnik.com
tldr:cybertruck is a disaster
In 2024 — the Cybertruck's first full model year — Tesla managed to dupe about 39,000 chuds into thinking they needed a Cybertruck in their lives. However, the Austin, Texas-based automaker wasn't nearly as successful in 2025, moving just 20,200 of the massive stainless steel trucks throughout the year, according to data from Cox Automotive reported by InsideEVs. That nearly 19,000-vehicle delta is actually the largest sales drop of any EV on sale in the U.S., and that includes cars that were canceled partway through the year. It's also a far cry from the 250,000 Cybertruck CEO Elon Musk said the company would produce yearly starting in 2025. While some EVs had bigger percentage drops in sales, no EV saw a bigger drop in actual sales numbers.

It's so hideous...I'm really not sure what people found appealing about it, but different tastes I guess

Largely, people don't find it appealing, and Musk has surrounded himself with a bunch of lampreys who only support his stupid ideas. Like a spoiled toddler, "no" is a word that doesn't exist in Elon's world.

Poster is from the UK, where they do auto inspections at fixed points in time to ensure cars are still road-worthy.
(Consider the smog check in many U.S. states.)

Car inspections or MOT test is a legal requirement in the UK. What does it include? How much does it cost? Read our guide to find out.
