Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person to ever walk the planet. And while his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully.

Uber drivers across the EU, supported by trade unions, are resisting the platform's growing enshittification, including dynamic pay set by opaque algorithms that depend on data allegedly sent unlawfully to the US in breach of the GDPR.

Excellent piece in the Hollywood Reporter about a scheme -- funded by the 0.01% -- to discredit journalism they don't like: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/peter-thiel-tribunal-journalists-trial-1236617579/

The HR often does noteworthy reporting about our increasingly bizarre media culture, and this is an example.

Communities blocked or delayed 75 data centre projects worth $130 billion in Q1 2026 - the most on record. Opposition groups have doubled to 833 across 49 states, showing a structural shift in how locals are fighting AI infrastructure. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/06/130-billion-in-data-center-projects-blocked-by-protests-so-far-this-year/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIGovernance

A “news” site has quoted at least six non-existent EFF experts in the past two months. False quotations that misstate our positions damage the trust that the public and reputable media outlets have in us. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/news-site-keeps-hallucinating-eff-staffers

I note that Elon Musk's wealth now exceeds the annual GDP of Switzerland.

I think this makes him a state-level actor, and a *hostile* one.

I submit that we have tools for dealing with rogue states, and they should be applied to him until/unless he starts to behave. NB: said tools vary from polite talkings-to by diplomats all the way up to cruise missile strikes and invasions.

[Small] Is Not Nothing

Your garden is not nothing.

Your repaired jacket is not nothing.

Your conversation with a neighbor about starting a seed library is not nothing.

Small, consistent, local action is what change has always been made of.

Every #sustainable choice helps.

Dear Fedi friends, I need your help.

If by any chance any of you have saved the video of #WSocial CEO Anna Zeiter's presentation at the Monaco AI conference (uploaded to YouTube on May 21) I would be ETERNALLY grateful.

OG URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bZlgVfRr5A

The 35 minute video included priceless quotes like: "Yes we have a business model, it's not a philanthropy, we are not a B corp, we actually want to make money."

Following the publication of my exposé, the video has been removed from YouTube!

⚠️ More shocking news! 🚨

Christine Lagarde and the European Central Bank have just migrated to #WSocial too!!!

(For context, see the beginning of this thread).

I'm at a loss for words today. Truly.

What a world.

If you missed my exposés on this controversial, problematic company, here they are:

"BREAKING! GEEF TEGENGAS IS BLOCKING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MICROSOFT DATA CENTER

While people can’t find proper housing and the climate crisis is escalating, Microsoft is building an enormous data centre in Amsterdam. Stop the data center that’s complicit in violence and oppression! This war machine doesn’t belong in our backyards.

As long as they keep building the data center, we will come back!"

File under: #WSocial shenanigans

I was alerted by @usti that the video of the Monaco AI conference presentation by W Social CEO Anna Zeiter was removed from their YouTube channel. You know, the video that I referenced in my second exposé about W Social, quoted extensively (because some of her statements were truly shocking).

This is the only video that was removed from their channel. I thought I had downloaded a copy to my computer... but hey, proof from the Wayback Machine of its existence
