EU Warns Elon Musk Over Platform Content

Elon Musk engaged in a two-hour exchange with Donald Trump on X (formerly Twitter) amidst a warning from EU Commissioner Thierry Breton regarding compliance with the Digital Services Act (DSA). Breton's letter reminded Musk of his legal obligations to prevent the spread of harmful content, especially during a high-profile interview with Trump. Musk's response included a meme, which many interpreted as disrespectful, prompting criticism of his attitude towards regulatory oversight. The European Commission later clarified that Breton's letter was not approved by its president, underscoring internal disagreements within the EU. The incident has sparked a broader debate about the intersection of digital platform regulation and political discourse. As investigations into X's compliance with EU laws continue, the situation reflects ongoing tensions between Musk and European regulators.
