Elon Musk’s X sued by Bernard Arnault

ER Editor:  We’re not sure what to make of this except to say that luxury goods owner Bernard Arnault (probably no longer around) was recently outed for making his high-end products involving children, perhaps literally, i.e. their bodies. Red shoes are. (Interestingly, as a French media baron, would Arnault also be caught under EO13848 for election interference via his media outlets?)

Now, his media outlets are collectively suing Musk because the X platform permits users to publish their content without paying them royalties. Musk has replied that users publishing THEIR content directs traffic to their sites where they make ad revenue.

This is the RT report linked to —

UK government leaks contact details of Europe’s richest man

On what planet does this happen? ‘Oops!’  Hmm —

Human error” led to the publication of Bernard Arnault’s email address, the Department for Business and Trade has said

The British government has apologized for revealing the personal email address of Bernard Arnault, the founder of luxury giant LVMH and Europe’s richest man, in an email circulated ahead of a major investment summit.

Arnault was CC’d in the email sent by the Department for Business and Trade to summit participants earlier this week, meaning that the French tycoon’s email address was visible to anyone who received the message. Other participants, including executives from global banks, multinational corporations, and tech firms, were also CC’d in the message.

2019 —

2017 — ouch!

From October last year. Arnault’s personal fortune has probably been seized under EO 13818 —

The Decline of Luxury Goods Market: Implications for LVMH and Other Brands

The French don’t like Arnault for his business practices, for his callousness with laying off employees, etc. —

Translation: Bernard Arnault is not a nice boss. He is someone who did not hesitate to destroy the lives of dozens of families for his personal gain.

And now Brand Arnault sues Musk … Is the French MSM somehow putting itself squarely in the line of fire here? Such is the level of 5D chess going on.

Elon Musk’s X sued by Europe’s richest man

French newspapers owned by Bernard Arnault insist the platform must pay for content shared by users

RT

Several French media companies owned by billionaire Bernard Arnault have filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s social media network X, accusing the platform of distributing their content without paying for it.

The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday by Les Echos and Le Parisien, which are part of Arnault’s luxury conglomerate LVMH. The move is supported by Le Monde, Le Figaro, Telerama, Courrier International, Huffington Post, Malesherbes Publications and Le Nouvel Obs.

According to Forbes, Arnault is currently the richest person in Europe and the 5th richest in the world, with an estimated family net worth of $156 billion. Musk, who also owns Tesla and SpaceX and has been an avid supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, holds the top spot globally with a net worth of $308 billion.

The French media outlets have accused X of violating so-called “neighboring rights”, which refer to royalties generated from broadcasting non-interactive digital services. Back in May, they, as well as Agence France-Presse, had asked a Paris court to compel X to provide relevant commercial data, and the judiciary backed the request.

However, the newspapers said, as cited by the Daily Telegraph, that the network has “not…complied” with the ruling, “thus demonstrating its invariable desire to evade its legal obligations.”

“The revenue from these rights… is a boost to the plurality, independence and quality of the media, which are essential for freedom of expression and the right to information in our democratic society,” they added.

While X has yet to comment on the litigation, its lawyer insisted in March that the site was not subject to neighboring rights because the media content is not published by the platform itself, but by users.

“This is bizarre. They want us to pay *them* for traffic to their site where they make advertising revenue and we don’t!?” Musk asked in August 2023.
