“Le blocage de comptes d'utilisateurs est monnaie courante chez Twitter, mais le fait qu'ils dbitent ensuite constamment les cartes de crdit des utilisateurs rend l'affaire explosive et occupe actuellement le parquet de Berlin (Rpublique fdrale d'Allemagne). Dans tous les cas, la question se pose de savoir quel pouvoir peut tre accord un mdia comme Twitter et quand les autorits de surveillance devraient intervenir pour protger les utilisateurs de Twitter”.

Ce n'est d'ailleurs pas la premire fois qu'Elon Musk fait l'objet d'une enqute, puisque le CEO de Tesla, Elon Musk, fait galement actuellement l'objet d'une plainte d'investisseurs. La plainte porte sur les tweets de Musk en aot 2018 annonant prmaturment qu'il voulait retirer l'entreprise de voitures lectriques de la bourse et qu'il avait assur le financement pour cela. Il s'est avr par la suite qu'il n'y avait pas d'engagements fermes de la part des investisseurs.

“Elon Musk a menti”, a dclar un avocat des plaignantes. Le juge amricain Edward Chen (juge du United States District Court for the Northern District of California) avait dj constat en 2022 que les dclarations de Musk dans les tweets ne correspondaient pas la vrit.

“Nous continuerons suivre l'affaire de prs et rendrons compte des nouveaux dveloppements ds que de nouvelles informations seront disponibles. Il reste voir comment les accusations pnales portes contre Elon Musk et Twitter vont voluer et quelles consquences pourraient en dcouler.”

Sur le plan factuel, il convient de noter que, conformment l'article 48 de la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union europenne, les accuss et les prvenus bnficient de la prsomption d'innocence, qui doit galement s'appliquer dans le cas de la plainte pnale dpose contre Elon Musk pour “fraude prsume au dtriment des utilisateurs de Twitter”.

BERLIN, May 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Die BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG berichtet heute, dass bei der Berliner Staatsanwaltschaft eine Strafanzeige gegen Elon Musk eingereicht wurde, Aktenzeichen: 253 UJs 1012/23, in der behauptet wird, dass Musk die Kreditkarten von Twitter–Nutzern belastet, die verifizierten Twitter–Accounts aber zuvor ohne Angabe von Grnden von Twitter gesperrt wurden.

“Das Sperren von Nutzerkonten ist bei Twitter an der Tagesordnung, aber dass sie dann stndig die Kreditkarten der Nutzer belasten, macht die Sache brisant und beschftigt derzeit die Staatsanwaltschaft Berlin (Bundesrepublik Deutschland). In jedem Fall stellt sich die Frage, wie viel Macht einem Medium wie Twitter berhaupt zugestanden werden kann und wann die Aufsichtsbehrden zum Schutz der Twitter–Nutzer eingreifen sollten.”

Es ist brigens nicht das erste Mal, dass gegen Elon Musk ermittelt wird, denn auch gegen den Tesla–CEO Elon Musk luft derzeit eine Anlegerklage. In der Klage geht es um Musks Tweets im August 2018 mit der verfrhten Ankndigung, er wolle das Elektroautounternehmen von der Brse nehmen und habe die Finanzierung dafr gesichert. Spter stellte sich heraus, dass es keine festen Zusagen von Investoren gab.

“Elon Musk hat gelogen”, sagte ein Anwalt der Klgerinnen. US–Richter Edward Chen (Richter des United States District Court for the Northern District of California) hatte bereits im Jahr 2022 festgestellt, dass die Aussagen von Musk in den Tweets nicht der Wahrheit entsprochen hatten.

“Wir werden den Fall weiterhin aufmerksam verfolgen und ber weitere Entwicklungen berichten, sobald neue Informationen vorliegen. Es bleibt abzuwarten, wie sich die strafrechtlichen Vorwrfe gegen Elon Musk und Twitter entwickeln und welche Konsequenzen sich daraus ergeben knnten.”

In sachlicher Hinsicht ist anzumerken, dass gem Artikel 48 der Charta der Grundrechte der Europischen Union fr Angeklagte und Beschuldigte die Unschuldsvermutung gilt, die auch im Falle der Strafanzeige gegen Elon Musk wegen “mutmalichen Betrugs zum Nachteil der Twitter–Nutzer” gelten muss.

BERLIN, May 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG reports today that a criminal complaint has been filed against Elon Musk with the Berlin public prosecutor's office, file number: 253 UJs 1012/23, alleging that Musk charged Twitter users' credit cards but suspended verified Twitter accounts without giving any reason.

“Blocking user accounts is a daily occurrence at Twitter, but the fact that they then continuously charge money to users' credit cards makes the matter explosive and is currently occupying the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office (Federal Republic of Germany). In any case, the question arises as to how much power a medium like Twitter can be granted at all and when the regulatory authorities should intervene to protect Twitter users.”

Incidentally, this is not the first time Elon Musk has been investigated, as there is also currently an investor lawsuit against Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The lawsuit is about Musk's tweets in August 2018 with the premature announcement that he wanted to take the electric car company off the stock market and had secured the financing to do so. It later emerged that there were no firm commitments from investors.

“Elon Musk lied,” said a lawyer for the plaintiffs.

US Judge Edward Chen (Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California) had already found in the 2022 trial that Musk's statements in the tweets had not been true.

“We will continue to monitor the case closely and report further developments as new information becomes available. It remains to be seen how the criminal charges against Elon Musk and Twitter will develop and what the consequences might be.”

From a factual point of view, it should be noted that according to Article 48 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the presumption of innocence applies to defendants and accused persons, which must also apply in the case of the criminal charges against Elon Musk for “suspected fraud to the detriment of Twitter users”.
