Elon Musk has clashed with the European Union over his social media platform, X, following warnings from EU digital chief Thierry Breton about the spread of harmful content. Breton's letter, sent ahead of Musk's interview with Donald Trump, emphasized X's obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA) to mitigate illegal content and disinformation. Musk responded defiantly with a meme from the film Tropic Thunder, which has garnered significant attention. Critics argue that X has played a role in amplifying misinformation, particularly in relation to recent UK riots. The EU has ongoing investigations into X's compliance with the DSA, with potential penalties for non-compliance.
