US Government Steps in to Support Musk at European Court
The US Department of Justice intends to intervene as an interested party in the legal case between Elon Musk’s X and the European Commission regarding a 120 million euro fine. The US government argues that the EU is overstepping its regulatory authority by targeting American entities and personally pursuing Musk, who is an ally of President Trump. X was fined for alleged violations of the Digital Services Act, including misleading verification badges, inadequate advertising transparency, and restricted data access for researchers. While X denies all accusations and challenges the inclusion of its US parent company, the US Justice Department supports this stance, stating it will not tolerate EU attempts to control American innovation engines.
