It's on! The European Union vs Elon Musk. The battle began when the EU demanded that X (forever to be known as Twitter) bow down to its censorship regime by paying a 120 million Euro fine. However, the EU may have bit off more than it can chew because it is also trying to extend its censorship to TikTok and Apple and they are also refusing to comply. How will this war end? Will the EU be able to impose its censorship on the rest of the world? Stay tuned!

PING!
With the state of these European country’s militaries, with his money Elon can raise his own better army and take over the place.
He would probably be hailed as a Liberator by the people in most countries
In the short-term government power usually wins.

TikTok should be banned in America and in the EU.
It’s a Chinese / communist spying machine against us.
China has banned X, YouTube, FaceBook, WhatsApp, and every other American social network. And America kneels before China and accepts this situation.
It’s a nightmare.
Why should we accept the commies TikTok down shoved down our thwarts, while China mocks us by banning everything that is American!??
It’s time to get tough against China.
Read those lyrics and you’ll understand what drugs can do to your brain.
There's a reason why the bill to ban TikTok was "bipartisan" and only few were against it, including President Trump.
The American tech companies should leave the EU market. They still have Nokia and I mean, they can still use that.
Kris Kristofferson wrote it.
But Yeah, Janis owns it.
My bet is on Elon.
I hope it ends with the US withdrawing all support from them, and abrogating obsolete post WWII treaty obligations.
They hate us.
We owe them nothing!
It’s not just Elon vs the EU.
It’s Trump and Elon vs the EU.
That’s not a fight.
It’s a turkey shoot.
Agreed.
You missed a few months.
More on Larry Ellison:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison
“In 2017, Ellison donated $16.6 million (equivalent to $21,300,000 in 2024) to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), saying, “Since Israel’s founding, we have called on the brave men and women of the IDF to defend our home”. This was the largest donation in the organization’s history”
China?
Nope.
Lol.
Elon.
The EU will blink first when he shuts down Starlink.
