@mhalligan Musk isn't bribing anyone in EU politics, trust me on that.

I think everyone here dramatically overestimates the competence of some politicians, who see a shiny project and push for it with no understanding of the actual technology and its flaws/limitations.

@jmaris hmm. I guess I have less faith than you in poorly paid officials who are very accessible to billionaires.

@jmaris did you watch them 24 hours a day and monitor their accounts?

Politicians are easily bribed. Look at Gethard Schroder. Sold out Europe to Russia, Went on to be part of Nordstrom and Gaz prom.

@mhalligan @jmaris And now look at Angela Merkel. Same results, 2Nord2Stream, and unless she's blowing it all on online gambling inside her modest Berlin flat...
They really don't need any financial incentive to be this dumb.
(Even though the EPP will EPP, top to bottom, yesAllEPP, sorry Donald, this is just too niche and too small-fry for bags of money and too similar to everything we know about conservative-ish boomers and shiny techy things, imo.)

@mhalligan I didn't, but I do have much more insight into how these people think than the layperson, and EU procedures are deliberately too cumbersome and bureaucratic for corruption to go unnoticed for long.

We saw it with Yvla Johannsen, we saw it with Eva Kaili.

@jmaris It probably depends on the country of origin? Hungary, for example, I expect every politician to be bribable, including their EU representatives.
