The European Union imposed €1.67 billion in Digital Services Act (DSA) penalties on Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, following a two-year probe into transparency and content moderation violations.The fines, issued on December 5 and 6, specifically address failures in user verification, advertising disclosures, and researcher data access, marking the first time a company faces such a penalty under the DSA.Musk publicly rejected the "absurd" penalties, while some US politicians, including Marco Rubio, JD Vance, and Ted Cruz, condemned the EU's actions as threats to free speech and US interests, with Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau warning of complications under a future Donald Trump administration.
