.si domains and also it's a flex to provide pro-MAGA propagandists with a very low-cost rallying point.

That would certainly be on brand. Abusing American soft power and destroying is a consistent Trump strategy.
I guess, although I don't see Slovenia exercising any real leverage over domain owners. It would be funny if having an EU domain exposes operators to GDPR obligations or the like though.
Pumping those .si domains
It is a way to shake down the AI bubble for more money.
