Spanish banking giant BBVA's hostile takeover bid for smaller rival Sabadell has failed, dashing its hopes of creating a new European sector colossus, the stock market regulator announced on Thursday.

“The Administration’s actions are brazenly unlawful. They go well beyond the bounds of the President’s limited authority and instead seek a hostile takeover of MPD.”

In an unexpected appearance at the White House in February, Musk denied leading a "hostile takeover" of the US government, and defended his approach.

Thus it is, in the United States at least, whether through merger or hostile takeover, that there is now no meaningful distinction between conservative, far-right and fascist; they are also identified with the Republican Party.

And the headcount-slashing, hostile takeover approach is already producing similar results within the federal government.
