Elon Musk’s X Faces Potential $1 Billion+ Penalty from EU
EU regulators are preparing to impose significant penalties on Elon Musk’s platform X for violations of the Digital Services Act, which targets illicit content and disinformation.
The penalties, potentially exceeding $1 billion, could include fines and product changes. This would be the first enforcement under the new law, which mandates enhanced content moderation. The investigation, ongoing since 2023, is separate from U.S.-EU tariff negotiations and focuses on X’s handling of user-generated content, including concerns over hate speech and disinformation.
