Trump accused the DOJ of "secretly attacking" his Twitter account.

Sanctions were applied after the social media platform delayed compliance with a federal search warrant that required Twitter to hand over Donald Trump’s Twitter data without telling the former president about the warrant for 180 days.

    If he’d held out one more day it would have been 700k. 2 more days, 1.4M. 3 more, 2.8M.

    i.e. Musk caved before it became consequential.

    1.4B if he’d waited 2 weeks more. 23.4T (that’s Trillion) if he wanted to shield Trump for a month. I’d say it was a heavy fine that worked as intended.

    Someone check my math.

      I checked your math. It’s pretty terrible, my friend.

          You were giving him a discount! (If this math is correct, but it should be)

            Lemmy supports markdown, so you can use markdown tables.

            P.S. I didn’t check your numbers, but I was curious about the markdown :)

          $23.4T / ($350k / day) = 66857142.85 days

          That’s about 183,170 years, not a month.

          I’m assuming you were suggesting it was $350k / day? Maybe you were meaning exponential and I misread?

          edit: ah, $50k doubling. Missed that in the article.
