Reply to comment by hydrOHxide in Twitter faces legal complaint in Germany over anti-Semitic content by davetowers646

He's just not going to do it. He's been telling all regulators (FTC, EU, and more) to sit and spin and thinks he's too rich to ever Find Out.

The EU has taken on Microsoft, Facebook and Google - he has been warned often enough there are rules to follow. He has no one to blame but himself if he thinks they won't come for Twitter

He's been operating almost entirely under the US legal system as a rich guy until now, though. And he's probably right that they will never do anything approaching sufficient to be called justice. The abject failure of our system gives a lot of these assholes the false confidence to think that will work just as well everywhere.

He's already run into problems with Tesla's gigafactory in Germany. He's already been bitching and moaning about regulations during the construction period. Now, he's offering less than industry standard (in a country with no less than three of the world's leading car makers!) and wondering why he has massive recruitment problems and why everyone he talks down just gives him the finger and leaves.

With Twitter, courts in Ireland have already noted you can't just fire someone implicitly - least of all for not following requests for more work hours when the law explicitly says refusing to go over the legal limit temporarily must not have negative consequences.
