Citizen approved ballot measures should override any existing law, unless that was also from a ballot measure.

These measures are directly approved by the citizens instead of indirectly through elected representatives. The citizens have determined this is something they want, regardless of what politicians may have decided previously.

He doesn't want it to appear that Trump's candidacy is affecting the sentencing... So his candidacy will directly affect when the sentencing happens.

The courts need to simply ignore the politics, no matter what they do to try and avoid it they always fall right into the shit because anything a candidate does has a political spin from somewhere. Just ignore it completely, act like the politics isn't a part of the case, because it isn't. If the case happens to be occurring during an election, well the candidate shouldn't have been doing illegal shit in the first place.

Welp, Israel has had their chance running the area, let the Palestinians run things for a bit and see how it goes instead.

Anything car related with BT is almost always the car's fault. They use shit hardware and don't care about the software because no one can do anything about it. No one is picking their car based on the BT support.

See the thing is, they are actually US citizens, even if they want to pretend they're not.

We don't just revoke citizenship because people want to claim they're not citizens. The US, like nearly all countries, does not revoke citizenship unless the person has another citizenship, they don't intentionally make anyone Stateless as a matter of regular policy.

Put the newest intern in charge for a year. They couldn't do much worse than the last 4 CEOs, and would be much cheaper.

They're not really though.

Brazil's complaints are about misinformation being actively spread on the platform, andTwitter not only failing to moderate it on their own, but refusing to moderate when the accounts are specifically pointed out either.

The TikTok ban fundamentally goes back to the Chinese government controlling the company. Regardless of what TikTok and the government claims, only an idiot would believe they don't have control over a social media platform based in China. Even if the servers are US-based, the Chinese government will have access whenever they want.

Oh look, he caved already. Guess that's what happens when your accounts are frozen and you can't make money in the country.

Starlink is a separate company from SpaceX. They use SpaceX as a launch provider, and there's a lot of vertical integration between them (Just like SpaceX uses a lot of Tesla stuff), but they are a different company.

There's several things Elon has done with Starlink that's questionable, like the current Brazil stuff. Refusing to block access via Starlink after their Supreme Court approved blocking X in the country because it's not following their national laws. After Elon said that they will follow national laws.

SpaceX hired Gwynne Shotwell shortly after being founded, and she has been COO/President the entire time. While Elon may be the face of SpaceX like most of his companies, and may be responsible for major goals, he hasn't really been in the driver seat, letting Gwynne handle operations.

It seems clear that this is the difference between SpaceX and his other ventures like Tesla and Twitter where he has been directly making changes to daily operations. Even with a separate CEO at Twitter, it's clear he's still making daily operating decisions.

Elon sucks at operating a business directly, he needs someone else to actually handle daily operations, to filter his thoughts and decisions for how realistic they are to implement.
