“Bullshit”: Musk responds to EU regulator’s €120 million bribe demand

Source: CBC News [Canadian state media]

“Elon Musk’s social media company X was fined 120 million euros ($193.3 million Cdn) by EU tech regulators on Friday for breaching online content rules, the first sanction under landmark legislation that once again drew criticism from the U.S. government. While X did not respond to an emailed request for comment, Musk replied ‘Bulls–t’ under a European Commission post about the fine. He also reposted several messages criticizing the decision and wrote, ‘Freedom of speech is the bedrock [of] democracy. The only way to know what you are voting for.’ … EU regulators said X’s DSA violations included the deceptive design of its blue checkmark for verified accounts, the lack of transparency of its advertising repository and its failure to provide researchers access to public data.” (12/05/25)
