curiosityLynx,
  1. Thanks for posting a non-paywall version.
  2. Wtf, Twitter's standard automated reply to press queries is a poo emoji now?

The poo emoji has been a thing for months.

I don’t think it’ll ever happen, but I would LOVE to see Musk detained and fined.

floofloof,

You can't fine him an amount he'd care about. Beyond a certain amount of wealth, fines are no longer a punishment or a disincentive.

In many cases, I would agree, but the article says

If Twitter does not respond, it faces fines of $687,000 a day.

We’re not talking about a single payment for a fixed amount. I think he’d actually care about this. It would add up fast if he tried to ignore it.

AnnaPlusPlus,

Google tells me his net worth is $234.4 billion. That’s enough money for 341,193 days of fines, or just over 900 years. So no, he probably won’t care

Even if the fine were to reach half of what he spent on Twitter, he would have to pay them $687,000/day for longer than the average life expectancy in the healthiest country on earth (87 years). A billion is such an absurd number.

Wow?! So it's basically in the region of a normal person paying about 10-20 cents fine a day or the cost of a cup of coffee every month or two.

Hell he's such an attention seeker he'd wear the fines as a badge of honour
