Archived version of the Spiegel 'hit piece'. Sadly, translate websites don't work with the archive site, so you'll have to use browser-integrated translation tools, like Firefox has nowadays. Though, I tested the translation of Firefox and it's rough in places. Certainly doesn't read as eloquently in English as it does in German.

On Monday, Elon Musk invoked the names of two German Nazis in a tweet while simultaneously disparaging modern pronoun conventions — attempting, as he so often does, to make a joke. (I’m not repeating the text here — not because it’s profane, but mostly because it’s just not funny.)

All the tracker does (to my knowledge) is sending out a Bluetooth signal every Bluetooth-capable device that has ~~been backdoored~~ the appropriate software running and Bluetooth enabled, which is at least all IPhones, as well as many Android smartphones, will pick up. Those devices will calculate the rough distance based on the delay, and then send the rough location to the Apple servers. The Airtag itself does not calculate anything.

"Destroying" has a pretty obvious connotation.

Most monarchies didn't get 'destroyed' and most peasants living under monarchies didn't have much to lose to begin with. The world is much more interconnected now.

There is no perfect system, every system needs to be fought over, lest it gets overtaken by those working against you. Destroying the current system also destroys every benefit you already fought for.

In Germany, those letters come with a fine, which they can sue you over, if you don't pay.
