Elon Musk Defends Free Speech on X Amid EU's Digital Services Act Criticism
Jul 13, 2024, 11:20 PM
Elon Musk is positioning X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, as a bastion of free speech, despite facing significant opposition from the European Union. Thierry Breton, the EU's Commissioner for Internal Market, has been a vocal critic, accusing X of breaching the Digital Services Act. Musk remains steadfast, emphasizing that free speech is essential for democracy and that X will not succumb to censorship pressures. Breton, with a background in leading major French corporations like Atos, has faced accusations of conflict of interest. As Breton confidently declared in October 2018, Atos saw a net income increase of 5.8% year-on-year. Musk's stance has garnered widespread support, with many praising him for standing up against what they perceive as EU's attempts to stifle free expression. Nigel Farage also praised Musk for exposing the anti-democratic nature of the European Union.
