@elonmusk Why can’t you just go to therapy and fix your internal problems and traumas, instead of externalizing it all and trying to bully everyone around you into submission? You have problems and an intelligent person (which I for a long time thought you were) would do some intospection

Why do citizens in Sweden, Hungary and elsewhere have to pay a ransom to bureaucrats in Brussels for the right to save their country?
Rebecca Mistereggen@RMistereggen
The EU operates like the mafia. Sweden is now paying the EU €9,19 million to buy itself out of the Union’s mandatory asylum quota. Think about that for a second: What kind of “democratic cooperation” forces a member state to pay protection money just to avoid having its own society destabilised? When a country must hand over cash to escape a policy that harms it, the structure stops looking like a union and starts looking like organized coercion. Let’s call the EU what it is: its a mafia organisation. Abolish the EU.

@gustaf Zuck has 0 integrity/principles and this trickles down through the org.

One lesson I've learned during my career:
Meta/Facebook is not a trustworthy platform partner.
It's honestly hard to remember how many things they have offered developers since the first F8 in 2008 that they have since taken away: An Infinite number of feed algorithms, WhatsApp Groups API, Instant articles, Friends API...etc.
OpenAI@OpenAI
Meta changed its policies so 1-800-ChatGPT won't work on WhatsApp after Jan 15, 2026. Luckily we have an app, website, and browser you can use instead to access ChatGPT.

@klarnaseb This piece blew up on Hacker News over the weekend. thealgorithmicbridge.com/p/google-is-wi…

Stock markets always baffle me.
Tomorrow Google stock will rebound due to tariffs.
Meanwhile OpenAI just announced 1 bn users?
How is this not the beginning of the end for Google? Personally I barely use it.
Why is that not a shock event to the market?

@klarnaseb Maybe switch to Bluesky? Non-algorithmic and free of Elon

Sorry for posting twice the same thing recently. Was just curious how true this was and whether I could notice a difference.
Mikael Pawlo@mpawlo
The algorithm is currently slowing down long-form writing, posts with links, posts with multiple mentions, and posts with video content. Nothing of this makes sense. But all of you will see this post, for some reason. Elon must be busy elsewhere.
English
@SujeebunShyan @elonmusk Agreed. Essentially, back in the late 2000s and 2010s when explosions & shootings started, Sweden didn’t do anything, and preferred to look away. So among gang members, this became the established “culture”/way to handle conflict. Which makes it much harder to stop now.
English
Because Sweden has allowed it to happen . It could have been stopped more effectively . But politicians advised by social pressure groups did not try to change the laws that would have enabled the authorities to deal with them more effectively - There are other aspects too .
But I’ll stop here today .

149 attacks with explosives in Sweden last year?
Nick Sortor@nicksortor
🚨 JUST IN: A bomb has just exploded in central Stockholm, per @visegrad24 There were a RECORD 149 confirmed explosive attacks in Sweden in 2023, the vast majority of which are carried out by immigrant gangs. THIS is why we need mass deportations in America. Can ANYONE imagine 149 explosive attacks in New York City in a single year? Because that’s what’s coming.
English
@elonmusk Dude. When will you start to accept that even you are totally clueless in some regards? You don’t need to involve yourself in everything. It gets pretty hard to see and appreciate your achievements and qualities, the more you act like a total idiot. Wake up.

Only the AfD can save Germany
Naomi Seibt@NaomiSeibt
🚨🇩🇪CHANCELLOR FRONTRUNNER SLAMS MUSK & MILEI❗️ The presumptive next chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) is horrified by the idea that Germany should follow Elon Musk’s and Javier Milei’s example. He staunchly rejects a pro-freedom approach and refuses any discussion with the AfD.
English
@MagnusHambleton Many have been traveling to Europe since after Covid, for the first time. Maybe this contributes. Now many Americans have a lot of thoughts on Europe. Conflicting ones (lots of this can be seen on TikTok). A way to “fix” this is coming up with simple stories.
English
@erikbryn @pietergaricano The SF Bay Area probably also has more homeless people than the entire Europe. Which doesn’t invalidate the “tech value”, but adds complexity to the picture.
English
"The 7.5 million people in the [San Francisco] Bay Area have created more tech value than the 750 Million people in all of Europe"

@StockMarket_AI @AlanMamedi Visst. Men om det finns en central reglerad taxikö där skummisarna inte får vara, har man nog minskat bedrägerierna med 90%. Bättre än läget idag.
Svenska
Något som är lika ruttet som telefonbedragare är taxichaufförer på Arlanda som lurar äldre och turister som inte vet bättre.Varenda medarbetare hos oss har blivit blåst av de mindre åkerierna. Igår även min mor!Varför gör man inget åt detta?Kan inte vara mer än ett beslut bort?
Svenska
@StockMarket_AI @AlanMamedi Och taxiförare som försöker lura ändå, blir portade från kön för en längre period. Idag går det nog inte (antar jag), eftersom det gäller fri prissättning. Så de bryter inte mot någon regel.
Svenska
@StockMarket_AI @AlanMamedi Det beror helt på upplägg. Finns olika sätt. Ett enkelt är att man köper och betalar sin taxiresa i terminalen vid ankomst och kliver på första taxin i kön. Ingen betalning sker i bilen.
Svenska
@andreasklinger Innovation with a conscience. That’s what Europe can do (and many companies already are doing), and what the US, on average, is bad at. There it’s more “innovation at all costs and no matter the collateral damage”.
English
Europe needs its own identities and own brands.
As much as i like eu/acc as a brand it’s still inspired/copied of an american brand/meme that people think of when they hear it.
I wonder what a truly independent european brand could be.
English
@MagnusHambleton Funny thought that many things in Sweden actually are fairly efficient (despite there being no word), while the stereotypical inventor of efficiency Germany is rather characterized by inefficiency in many aspects (for example time-consuming bureaucracy).
English
@MagnusHambleton Yep it’s quite strange that there’s no distinction. I’m def on favor of making up “efficient” as a new Swedish word. I’m basically already using it.

@klarnaseb @nylanderjens Bäst är nog att anlita Jens för en sommar-praktik hos er.
Svenska
@nylanderjens Coolt! Identifiera de är en sak, få de att ta bort den är en annan...
Med det sagt vi skulle gärna träffas och lära oss mer jag ser helt klart att vi kan "up our game"
Svenska
Tack @nylanderjens
Jag som många andra är djupt imponerade av ditt arbete!
Det var jag redan när jag skeppade mp3spelare köpta på alibaba 2003…
Men detta visar också som vi insett internt. Klarna är så förknippat med förtroende att folk tar loggan på sin sajt utan att ha ngt med oss att göra. Svårt för oss att skydda sig mot!
Jens Nylander@nylanderjens
Nej, ni är inte registrerade för F-skatt, moms eller har Klarna men det ser bra ut när man skriver det (@klarnaseb). Jag ringde en av företrädarna som arbetar i det offentliga som inte ville svara på några frågor och påstod att jag nått fel person och la på telefonluren.
Svenska
@levelsio As often, there’s more context to it. For example in Sweden, most people don’t pay tax on stock gains. There’s a low flat annual tax on your total holding, but say you rode Tesla or Microsoft for years to the top, you could make a fortune and pretty much keep all.
English
@MagnusHambleton Awesome! Sounds good (though I won’t return to sugar, hopefully :))
English
@martinweigert I’m doing no sugar also! Let’s have coffee to celebrate the end of it, 3rd of June?
English
@MagnusHambleton No but I support you ofc. I’m on a no sugar streak so in a similar boat.
