You can only repay them in the same currency: Never give a damn.
Never give a damn about redit karma or anything they do, or promise. Never give a damn about how mods want you to be.
Make a new account in such a way that they cannot detect it, then go on with your life as if nothing happened.
Details:
Use a new nickname, new IP address, no real name/age/location, a different app (or browser), a new mailaddress, subscribe a different set of subs (at the beginning). For the future: create your next account(s) before the current one gets banned.
To your other question: if you own >50% then the others have no real say anymore. If you own less than 50% then you can still try to convince them of your ideas, and in practice, there is often one who commands and the others follow.
But such a ban would not come because of censorship. It is not these social media users and their opinions, but these companies that need to get banned.
It isn't even for social media's general toxicity. It is because these Us companies are behaving so badly. Illegally. They are now openly provoking their own ban, but they think the EU is so toothless that they can get away with anything.
Perception: Dad confirmed that he understood the message, then said "cool", then made some weird joke.
Context: assuming this was really the first time when Dad heard the news.
Interpretation: Dad's reaction is just the beginning of acceptance. More reactions are to come. In order to really accept such a serious news, his emotions must go through all the "stages of grief" (even this isn't exactly a sad news - but the stages are similar)

Hey guys, I'm starting to think that this guy's fortune has absolutely nothing to do with his skills at running a business
Great summary btw. and you are absolutely right here. He is a terrible manager.
Remember the time when he slept at the Tesla factory just because he didn't trust anybody and thought he himself must rescue it all by working so much overtime and make all the decisions.
You very smartphone.
