France Urges EU to Act Against Elon Musk's Interference on X Platform, Says Foreign Minister
Jan 8, 2025, 12:26 PM
France has urged the European Commission to take stronger action against interference in European political debate, particularly by Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of social media platform X. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot emphasized that the European Commission must either strictly enforce existing laws to protect public space or allow EU member states, including France, to take action themselves. Barrot's comments come amid growing frustration with Musk's interventions in European politics, which have included support for far-right parties and criticism of European leaders. The minister warned that if the European Commission does not act decisively, France is prepared to implement its own measures, as such actions are provided for under current laws.
