This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Have you ever tried to wire money? Its fucking hard. Even the banks give you the wrong info. It usually takes me 1 month on average with about 4 failed transfers before it goes through
This is a bank problem
It takes 1 day to wire money and it works on the first try, what are you talking about?
Have you tried wiring money to South America?
Ah, that's a different ball game all together. Is that even possible? Last time I tried I had to wire to a US account that my Argentinian bank has in the US and they somehow transferred the money to my account. Still, it took a couple of days and it worked without a hitch.
Usually the process is:
Yeah, I'm not surprised. I didn't think it was even possible. Whenever I have to transfer money to my bank account in Argentina I use crypto. Much easier. That one time that I used an intermediary US account I had no other option, never tried that again.
Elon: Trump's efficiency tzar
Top Men.
Sending their best.
If you want to punish Musk in a meaningful way, then once the fine has been paid in full, the countdown can start. Once the same amount of time that elapsed between Twitter's first noncompliance and the fine's check cleared, then Twitter should be allowed back online. There will always be money to pay fines but they'll never get the time back. Other companies will take note.
"Sir, this is First National Total Landscaping"
Coming from Musk I still think he did it on purpose just to spite the judge.
I wonder if it would have been brilliant if it was "Elon Musk's X Still Down in Brazil After Company Sends $5.2 Billion instead of $5.2 Million for the Fine to Charity Organization instead of Bank"
I wonder how much this will come back to hurt the company. Musk & co. want to play dumb games? Enjoy watching all the potential Xitter users in Brazil flock to Bluesky and other platforms while your site remains in the dark.
Xitter isn’t special. People will find ways to socialize online with or without it. And the longer people go without it, the more momentum other sites will gain. Whether this stalling is deliberate or unintented doesn’t matter, the fact is they’re only hurting their own bottom line when an entire country is disengaged from their platform.
In other words, keep it up, Elon. It’s fun to see some natural consequences arise from your stupid behavior.
I wonder if that insane musking urgency is in any way related to baking up local elections that will take place there some time soon
LMAO
So, there's a bank out there with some free money.
No money is free
True. To have this money we need to live in a world where social media dominates everything
This is why you don't fire your local team in charge of local laws and regulations, Elon.
On behalf of Banko del Tesoro Nacional de Veracruz Y Pavon Familia Santiago Amen de Guadalupe de Saltillo, gracias, muchisisimas gracias senior Musko!
Look, I'm going to interpret this as Elon sending the money to a bank in sone other part of LatAm. Not only because Brazil's official language is Portuguese, but also because it's way funnier like this!
Si senior! En mejico todo es mejor! We can just dream a little 500million mistake for Mexicans everywhere. That makes things feel better.
*muito obrigado
