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.

    They’re gonna do fuck all about this. Musk knows this and his team is already making hefty „donations”. Democracy is long dead. They’ve been parading a corpse.
