Elon Musk picks huge fight with EU as bureaucrats try to shut down free speech

European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton has taken to X (formerly Twitter) - itself owned by billionaire business magnate and investor Musk - to share an "urgent letter" letter addressed to him about "DSA obligations".

Benton wrote in a tweet alongside this: "Following the terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel, we have indications of X/Twitter being used to disseminate illegal content and disinformation in the EU.

But Musk has hit back in a tweet of his own, writing: "Our policy is that everything is open source and transparent, an approach that I know the EU supports.  "Please list the violations you allude to on X, so that that the public can see them. Merci beaucoup."

The back-and-forth continued, with the EU Commissioner responding: "Vu, merci. You are well aware of your users’ — and authorities’— reports on fake content and glorification of violence.

"Up to you to demonstrate that you walk the talk. "My team remains at your disposal to ensure DSA compliance, which the EU will continue to enforce rigorously."

However, the X owner appears to have had the last word - at least for now - writing: "We take our actions in the open. No backroom deals. Please post your concerns explicitly on this platform."
