This would be a fine against X though right rather than Elon himself? Surely the company wouldn’t have that kind of cash available and would need to take drastic action to raise that amount.

Oh, gosh! That sounds SO bad! Go on, tell us in explicit detail all the drastic measures that X would face. Tell us all the pain they would endure! Spare no detail.

This. Fines should be percentage of wealth. Otherwise they’re just a sticker price on breaking the law.

But $60B is more than Musk bought Twitter for, and there’s no way it increased enough that $60B would be a reasonable percentage of income in any capacity.

I fully acknowledge your point and don’t disagree. On the other hand, who ever said we have to treat Nazis reasonably?

Democracy and the rule of law. If you pick and choose groups to treat differently, that’s authoritarianism. Don’t fight authoritarianism with authoritarianism.

Nice idea but the state wouldn’t be able to know how much one owns. I am poor, but I have more hidden wealth than declared wealth
