EU Threatens $1 Billion Fine Against Elon Musk’s X Over Digital Services Act Violations

The European Union is poised to impose a potential $1 billion fine on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), for alleged violations of the Digital Services Act (DSA). The EU has accused X of failing to adequately police harmful content, refusing data access from researchers, and lacking transparency in advertising and account verification practices. These concerns stem from two separate investigations underway that could result in significant penalties or product restrictions.
