European Gov Berates Top Official For Sending Threatening Letter To Elon Musk Ahead Of Trump Interview
The European Union rebuked a top official on Tuesday for sending a threatening and unauthorized letter to Elon Musk regarding free speech on X (formerly Twitter).
European Commissioner for Internal Markets Thierry Breton sent a letter to Musk on Monday warning him that X needed to comply with the EU’s digital free speech and disinformation laws during Musk’s interview with former President Donald Trump. While the European Commission said Tuesday that it was still investigating X for potential digital law violations, it rejected Breton’s letter, saying that he was out of line and not given permission to send it to Musk, according to Britain’s Financial Times.
“The timing and the wording of the letter were neither co-ordinated or agreed with the president nor with the [commissioners],” the European Commission said, according to the Times.
