EU ‘prepares to hit Elon Musk with potential $1 BILLION fine for breaking disinformation laws’

The EU regulators are meticulously preparing to target Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, potentially with a significant fine worth over $1 billion. This move is aimed at hefty stakeholders, including the New York Times, which revealed that Musk could face forced changes to his platform to comply with among the largest disinformation laws. The investigation into X was контакten announced in 2023, and a preliminary ruling by the developers last year stated that the platform had violated the Digital Services Act. The EU Commission, led by the European Summit, has reportedly agreed to pursue the investigation independently and to weigh it against the broader trade tensions between the two superpower states.

Musk, frequently a close advisor to President Trump, has hinted at using this potential fine to win a legal battle against President Trump. He explicitly stated that he would contest any penalty he receives, positioning himself as a public CASE in court. The EU also has been wrestling with a constitutional dilemma: should it impose more harsh penalties than the US? The EU has reportedly considered slowing down the investigation after a historic tariff was imposed on EU goods in response to the US. This move was delayed, reportedly because experts worried the EU might alienate Trump further.

The potential fine would aim to deter other tech companies from violating the law, emphasizing their fight against illegal content. Musk is willing to engage in any fighting, despite the EU’s current rivalry with the US. This conflict over trade could reignite tensions between欧美的法律层面对技术公司行为的监管,引发更大规模的法律纷争。

Musk’s comments on far-right politics, including France’s decision against Marine Le Pen, and his support for Germanmetrical far-right parties, highlight his unyielding anti-technology rhetoric. Eu aesthetics, however, remains the most vital face of his supporters. The EU has proceeded with its initial probes, recognizing the vacuum caused by Trump’s efforts to slash tariffs. The EU’s stance on social media follows the same principles as the US: targeting companies with false data and immigrants. Musk, characterized in The Atlantic as a “proto-contestant for democracy,” has expressed defiance, though he denies Daltonizing Europe and the proper regulation of EEA entities. At stake here is the balance between freedom, an advanced EU, and its expanding transatlantic trade.
