Elon Musk masquerades a political project as Social Media.

Pisses off the world doing it.

The only thing that should be "slammed" is the cell door behind Hairplug Himmler.

When did we start treating rage casino as a free speech example?

Platforms are rage casinos.

And the house always wins.

Yes, and in general I'm thinking how good an analogy it is and why did it never occur to me before.

Also in the sense that you can gamble anywhere, but to feel safe and comfortable and solid you go to a casino. Just like with platforms.

Someone slap that idiot in the face

False, Elon had his chance to show what he could do inside a ring with Zuckerberg. The only thing he can slam is another dose of ketamine!

As opposed to the standard procedure of large corporations willingly handing all their files to the authorities with the incriminating parts underlined. Hence we can find a news article about this odd reaction.

Actually there was just yesterday a story about Corning (The maker of Gorilla glass), that was accused by EU for anti competitive behavior, where Corning entered in positive dialogue, and stated they intended to work fully within regulation.

Corning, the US-based manufacturer of Gorilla Glass, has successfully avoided potential European Union antitrust fines of up to $1.25 billion by agreeing to a set of legally binding commitments that address concerns over its exclusive supply agreements for specialty glass used in smartphones and other handheld devices.

So yes Musk is an ass, also compared to other companies. And his reaction is confrontational, which is not normal behavior.
