The European Union's digital enforcer wrote an open letter to Elon Musk today ahead of a planned interview with former United States President Donald Trump to remind him of the EU’s rules on promoting hate speech.


Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk says the European Commission offered his social media platform, X, an “illegal secret deal” to suppress free speech.

On July 12, the commission issued a press release stating that X was in breach of the Digital Services Act (DSA).


The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, says it is struggling with a flood of posts sharing graphic media, violent speech, and hateful conduct about the Israel-Hamas war.

But it has received a broadside of criticism, including from a top European Union official, questioning the adequacy of the response and giving its billionaire owner Elon Musk a 24-hour ultimatum to comply with the bloc's Digital Services Act.

Despite the left's relentless attacks on free speech, America still enjoys the right to openly voice their opinions. European sheep seems to have caved on this right and would like us to do the same. At least on speech with which they disagree.
