Summary
The EU plans to fine Elon Musk’s X over $1 billion for violating the Digital Services Act by failing to control disinformation and illicit content.
This would mark the first major penalty under the new law and could trigger a legal clash with Musk, who vowed to fight in court.
Regulators say the fine aims to deter other platforms. Tensions with the U.S. are rising, as X also faces a broader investigation.
Just ban the whole damn Nazi platform.
EU does not have the balls to do it. Same as Democrats in US.
Sadly, you’re right. Although if the the extreme aggression coming from the US government continues, they might actually get prodded into doing something about it eventually.

What Russian bots? Not done with licking trumps ass?
They could leave it first, but yes.
It’s worth $33B isn’t it? Go higher please
“Worth” only according to its owner, who paid himself to buy it from himself under a different org. Good luck finding an outside investor willing to spend $30B on it now that it’s turned into a hate pool with a shit revenue stream
The last people to evaluate the company under the rules of fiduciary responsibility put the value at $10 billion.
Musk gets away with this because people believe his Ponzi schemes will make them rich. In a first world country he would be in prision for fraud.
That’s not the point. That’s the value at which the deal was made. Fine him more.
Even a small hole can sink a ship
up to $1 billion
It will be much less than a billion.
If a fine can be paid without causing financial strain, then it just becomes part of the cost of doing business.
If you want results, fine him $100 billion.
Also, they should fine him in €
Agreed.
Twitter might as well be 4chan with how heavily I avoid that site now.
Least 4chan creates memes
It’s worse. I’ve never actually avoided 4chan I just don’t go there. I actually avoid Twitter and have been for the past few years
Twatter is 4chan gold.

“EU set to…”, “EU plans to…”, do something already for fuck sake!
Only a matter of time until this guy buys Reddit.
I call it in 2026. So glad I’m out of that place.
Let’s goooooooo
Do it motherfuckers, I dare ya!
I would just outright ban all of this Nazis businesses
At this point in time absolutely. Plus a good old tar n feather session wouldn’t hurt
Fines should be $1 billion or more. What fines currently are discourage no one.
Just block them completely
Make it $10 billion. $1 billion is nothing to Elon Musk and X. Fine his Tesla swasticars company too for something.
This will impact the stock price. Tesla will lose more than the fine in total.
Block his sites Europe-wide at the ISP level. Make Google and Apple block his apps from the European app stores.
Hit him where it’ll really upset him.
Good, make Musk lose as much money as possible
Make it 44 billion.
Make it per day and he might actually care.
… Doubling every day…
