Elon just took 150 million off the table. This boat is riddled with holes.

Seems like a pretty minuscule penalty, all things considered. But every little bit counts!

That's great. Twitter rips off their users and the FTC makes a boatload of money. What a great country we live in.

TikTok executives are all NATO communist cult creeps controlled by the doinks running the foundations funded by the corporate globalist CEO jews for tax write offs and state capture.

Did they pay the fine to the users who they sold out? No. Of course not. They paid it to the FTC which gave government stooges bigger pensions .

$150 million is nothing to Twitter. It just means it's legal for a few.

So where does this money go? Back into the 'government' coffers?

Forced two factor authentication should be illegal.

The money means nothing. Twitter isn't even profitable yet they make money per user. The ghouls just pump their money into it so Reuters can use certain twitter posts as news and ship it out to stunned and stupid fake reporters.
