Summary
The EU is intensifying its investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, over potential breaches of the Digital Services Act (DSA).
This follows Musk’s support for far-right figures like Germany’s AfD leader Alice Weidel, including a livestream alleged to have been algorithmically boosted.
The European Commission outlined new steps, including requiring X to clarify system changes and retain data on algorithm updates, with a deadline of February 15.
Musk’s growing influence, including his role in the incoming Trump administration, has raised concerns. X could face fines of up to 6% of global turnover.
It actually will. Don’t forget, European countries have actual laws against promoting certain terrorist ideologies, unlike the US. Digging into the algorithm will prove that his platform is promoting illegal content.
Musk doesn’t want the EU to become the next Brazil.
