Elon Musk isn’t holding back. The tech mogul erupted on his platform X this weekend after the EU slapped a €120 million ($140M) fine on the social media giant for violating transparency rules under the Digital Services Act (DSA). 💥
"The EU imposed this crazy fine not just on X, but also on me personally. That’s insane!" Musk posted on December 6, 2025. He warned of targeting officials behind the penalty, adding, "The EU should be abolished." 🔥
The EU’s decision, announced on December 5, cites X’s "deceptive" blue checkmark system, ad transparency gaps, and restricted data access for researchers. Critics argue the blue checks—now purchasable by anyone—enable scams and impersonation. 🕵️♂️
U.S. officials rallied behind Musk, calling the fine an attack on free speech. Former President Donald Trump even threatened tariffs if the EU continues targeting American tech firms. 💬
With tensions rising between Silicon Valley and Brussels, this showdown feels like a blockbuster plot twist. Stay tuned for the next episode. 🍿
