Sanctions were applied after the social media platform delayed compliance with a federal search warrant that required Twitter to hand over Donald Trump's Twitter data without telling the former president about the warrant for 180 days.

If he'd held out one more day it would have been 700k. 2 more days, 1.4M. 3 more, 2.8M.
i.e. Musk caved before it became consequential.
1.4B if he'd waited 2 weeks more. 23.4T (that's Trillion) if he wanted to shield Trump for a month. I'd say it was a heavy fine that worked as intended.
Someone check my math.
I checked your math. It's pretty terrible, my friend.
Ok. And.....
Correct it or stfu.
Corrected math, between day 1 and day 30 (if someone knows how to make a table easily in a lemmy comment please enlighten me ):

You were giving him a discount! (If this math is correct, but it should be)
Lemmy supports markdown, so you can use markdown tables.
P.S. I didn't check your numbers, but I was curious about the markdown :)
Thank you!
$23.4T / ($350k / day) = 66857142.85 days
That's about 183,170 years, not a month.
I'm assuming you were suggesting it was $350k / day? Maybe you were meaning exponential and I misread?
edit: ah, $50k doubling. Missed that in the article.
Ahh so this is that compounding interest they taught me about in school
