They will. See Brazil last year, if you threaten to touch the money musk will comply.
- The USA believe they are the world king.
- The corporations of the USA believe they’re invincible.
- The French rejected the American far-right propaganda group’s direct meddling in their politics.
- If the French leadership was aligned with the USA’s, they wouldn’t investigate anything harmful to society anyway, as extreme right-leaning folk want a revolution against the civil freedoms that we’ve had over the past decades. Harm to this society is exactly what X wants.
As for your point 4, De Gaulle was right to refuse being subordinated to the US after World War 2, and to pursue “strategic autonomy” instead.
Even before Trump 2.0, I always thought about the nature of the concept of alliance itself. Jacobin magazine made a point about not building alliance, but solidarity instead. Alliance implies impermanence and a tit for tat deal. Whereas, solidarity shows unquestionable mutual cooperation that does not look for anything in return. Jacobin wrote it in the context of social justice particularly on gender, race and lgbt; but going back to De Gaulle, he did say that there is no permanent alliance, only permanent interest. He knew that alliance with US is not everlasting and was correct to de-couple. France has its own interest for sure, but their policy is to first build cultural, political and military solidarity with Europe, which would translate to alliance.
The USA believe they are the world king.
Please stop painting with such a wide brush. The USA is 50 separate states, dozens of Indian reservations, several islands, and a couple of freely associated sovereign nations. There is literally nothing that the USA believes as a whole.
So block them already. On IP level.

Didn’t Elon say the algorithm was going to be open source?
