EU conservative leader wants countertariffs if US hits EU with ones

another move would be to have all EU and member states institutions collectively leave Twitter.

Obligatory reminder that https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/explore Is already a thing, you can already follow EU instance on mastodon if you like

Since we are dealing with man-childs in the US government another move would be to have all EU and member states institutions collectively leave Twitter

This would be a fantastic first step, Mastodon would be ideal since it's European made but even Bluesky, anything to really pull power away from Twitter/Musk

if news media would also not prominently feature Musks trolling but give him the cold shoulder unless therr is tangible policy to report on, that would also be great

I thought I was the only one!

I don't give a shit what Musk thinks about the UK or any of his or Trumps batshit insane ideas

To the mainstream media: I don't subscribe to Trump or Musks twitter feeds because I don't give a shit about them, if I wanted to read about the latest mental thing they're saying on twitter, I would just go to twitter...

I am surprised that the EPP mentions the loe taxes American Digital Companys pay in the EU. Fixing that is long overdue.

The EU does not tend to wage wars with protective tariffs, those are already in place anyway, but by specifically hurting the interests (monetary, pissed-off voting base, etc) of those in charge. It's how the last time around we ended up with tariffs on motorcycles and peanuts, last I checked Harley-Davidson still didn't recover and the peanut butter in my next-door supermarket is still Dutch. With all kinds of stars and stripes and bald eagles on it, though.

Look where influential senators have their districts, have a look at their economy, that's what's going to get targeted. In Musk's case they can just target him directly.
