@elonmusk I think you should consider that making X a global totem pole for Free Speech, and then turning it into a death star laser for coordinated hate sessions, is actually harmful for the cause of free speech. I'm seriously worried that huge backlashes against values I hold dear are coming in a few years' time.
The attacks on Europe I've seen here the last couple of days, including from people I've generally considered interesting and sophisticated, have been getting unhinged...
I get that EU has problems - GDPR clickthroughs are dumb, Chat Control is awful, they need to be less bureaucratic and supportive toward entrepreneurs, its kindness toward Ukraine often doesn't extend well to Gaza or Sudan or other places, people saying mean things about criminals getting longer sentences than the criminals is just crazy - but the apocalyptic attitude about the issues, evoking imagery of barbarians pillaging Rome etc, seems really over the top.
It feels more like a coordinated attempt to delegitimize than constructive criticism.
(I don't believe the line that "the target is not Europe, it's the EU": I've seen many instances of London specifically being targeted in the hate session, so no, much of it is an attack on Europe)
It just does not match my experience from spending an average of two months every year there for the last decade.
Musk wants to break up the EU.
Putin wants a weaker EU.
China wants to divide the EU.
Trump wants a far-right EU.
WE want a STRONGER EU.
Are you with us? 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
This is why Elon Musk’s X platform was fined by the EU. Elon refused to follow the regulations that every other platform has to adhere to in the EU. This is not a “free speech” issue.
Die FPÖ empört sich über die Ausgaben für den Selenskyj-Empfang in Wien. Zwei Putin-Besuche im Jahr 2018 kosteten unter Innenminister Kickl jedoch viel mehr – allein der Gastauftritt bei Karin Kneissls Hochzeit verursachte Kosten von 223.000 Euro.

So lange wir uns ein ganzes Staatssekretariat als reinen Versorgungsposten für den Multimillionär Sepp Schellhorn leisten,
brauchen wir nicht einmal darüber reden, Pensionisten und Kindergärtnerinnen Geld wegzunehmen.

The UK's @TheFCA is proposing new crypto rules so we teamed up with @Cardano_CF and @INATBA_org to defend DeFi and call for balanced regulations. See our response at https://t.co/KfPDCHg499
Here’s what we told them and why it matters👇🧵 1/4
A major step toward Europe’s tokenised future.
Raiffeisenlandesbank NÖ-Wien, one of Austria’s most forward-thinking banks, plans to invest in the Vision Token ( $VSN ) — and in the infrastructure powering it:
Vision Chain.
Together, we’re building a European blockchain network designed to bring real-world assets like securities, real estate and precious metals onchain — securely, transparently and in full alignment with regulatory standards.
Following the successful launch of VSN and high-profile partnerships with @PSG_inside & @acmilan, this marks the next phase of our mission:
– From sports to finance
– From community to institutional trust
– From token hype to real infrastructure
With RLB NÖ-Wien at our side, we’re accelerating the shift from legacy systems to a modern, collaborative financial ecosystem.
This is just the beginning.
Vision ($VSN) is live!
Today, @Bitpanda_global takes a big step toward the future of finance: $VSN, the new token powering our compliant, user-centric Web3 ecosystem, is officially live and accessible to investors globally.
This is the starting point of our long-term Web3 strategy. It brings staking, fee savings, community-driven governance, and exclusive rewards together into one simple, accessible token. Our answer to the next generation of finance: secure, compliant, and built to last.
From the Bitpanda DeFi Wallet to the upcoming Launchpad, Vision Protocol, and Vision Chain, everything connects through VSN. It’s our way of making Web3 usable, rewarding, and future-proof.
Big shoutout to the team. Incredibly proud of the execution and what we’ve built. 🐼 🚀
The Holy Grail of crypto: a scalable consensus with token-based, game-theoretic security—matching PoW in decentralization and security, without using PoW.
