BREAKING: President Trump EVISCERATES the European Union for fining Elon Musk and X $140M, says he will be getting a "full report" on the situation

The EU may have COOKED ITSELF!

"Elon has not called me to ask for help, but no, that's tough. I don't think it's right, no! I don't see how they can do that!"

"I'll speak about it later. I'll get a FULL report on it."

"Europe has to be VERY careful...Europe is going in some BAD directions."

@ElonMusk will win this!

As usual, Trump ain’t wrong.

[Gasohol and eminent domain not withstanding.]

It’s time for America to divorce itself from the UK/Zelensky and most of the EU.
They bitch at Trump and hold America responsible when they’ve screwed up their own countries in more ways than one.
Cut ‘em loose!
They’re just complaining, whining baggage!
Orban (Hungary) and a few others are okay.

The thought cops in the EU think they can do whatever they want. But I don’t think Elon will go in peacefully.

A battle worth fighting!

Europe is quickly becoming our enemy.

Right now we probably have more in common with the Chinese than the EU.

Yup.

Pull out of Europe. Let them bear the consequences of their decision and actions ON THEIR DIME.

The gravy train needs to stop yesterday.

For that matter, ALL financial assistance needs to be halted for any country which hates us and opposes us.

That was my first thought.

Elon is not obligated to give it to them and if they're going to treat him like that, they don't deserve it.

Yes. 80+ plus years of defending ungrateful European nations and the UK.

Draining our blood and treasure endlessly as if that’s all we’re here for. Pull all our assets out and leave them to themselves.

I’m sure there’s just oodles of contract law that makes it a bad idea to pull the plug, but he should give them an economics lesson, and inform them that the cost will be passed on to. consumers,which is them.

2024 EU income from tech:

- Fines of US companies €3.8B
- Income tax from EU tech companies €3.2B

Devastating statistic … fining US tech companies is the money maker!

Elon goes against the EU socialist NWO.

And PDJT is in his corner.

Wow. I did not know that the EU take in more money from US companies in fines than they make on income tax of European companies.

Here is the image that goes with that story.

Elon will have to sell a couple of stocks to come up with that kind of cash.
