Investigate? Possible?

The verdict is already in.

They will probably have Arthur F. Engoron clone weigh the evidence.

Musk is globohomo target #1

They are upset they lost twitter as a propaganda outlet

Biden’s DOJ already has several investigations and actions going on

Elon should de-platform ALL EU accounts on X. Seriously...the EU infests X like a plague of locusts.

Elon Musk should just announce that he will restrict the EU Market to paid subscribers ($10 euros a month?).

Than the EU will shut up because Twitter will become an exclusive product so there will be less of an opportunity for them to regulate it.

Don’t even need to. Just IP ban the entire continent and add something to the TOS saying that Europeans are not allowed to use the site.

But he won’t do that, they never have the balls to do that.

They don’t even try to hide their political weaponization any more.

Lawfare to punish their political opponents. Gee, how Marxist of them.

Now where have we seen this before?

Lord bless and protect him. Reveal Yourself to him, so that he will know in an unmistakable way, that You are Lord. They are ravenous wolves who want to stop him from allowing the truth to go forth.

Just ignore them. Have no physical presence in those countries. If the EU decides to block Twitter, they can deal with their constituents. Which they really don’t have, because the EU is not an elected governor.

He doesn’t have to. It’s not his problem to make sure people can’t access his site. If the EU wants to block it, that’s their decision. If you ran a website here in America, it’s not up to you to make sure people in China can’t access your product. Odd that you think it is the responsibility of Elon to accomplish the goals of the EU, and that he doesn’t have the balls to do it. The onus is on the EU… They are the ones who don’t have the balls to block it and deal with their citizens. Although they really don’t have constituents per se, because they don’t vote for their leaders .

To think that we spent the better part of the Twentieth Century,$4.1 trillion and 405,799 lives defending them from the kind of government that they are turning into. It seems like a grim joke.

“It’s not his problem to make sure people can’t access his site.”

It’s certainly going to be his problem when the European courts find him liable under the law and levy massive fines against him. Blocking the European users would circumvent that. The EU doesn’t want to block people from accessing the site; they want people to access it so they can then fine Elon until he relents and changes his policies.

Well, how do they levy the fines when the product itself is US-based?
