EU Bureaucrats Consider Targeting Elon Musk’s Entire Empire Over X’s ‘Free Speech’
Radical EU bureaucrats are weaponizing the Digital Services Act (DSA) to crack down on free speech that doesn’t align with government-approved narratives on social media, including Elon Musk’s ‘free speech’ platform X. The EU’s attack on free speech online has possibly entered a new chapter, with Musk’s entire business empire potentially in the crosshairs of fines.
Bloomberg reported that EU bureaucrats are mulling over how to calculate fines against X for failing to combat what the bloc deems ‘illegal content or disinformation’ on the social media platform (this spat between EU-Musk has been ongoing for about a year). In other words, EU officials are livid with Musk because X does not censor and/or shadow-ban folks based on political views. So, these bureaucrats must potentially resort to lawfare against their political enemies.
