title.EU Should Be Abolished After X Is Fined $140 Million
words.The European Commission fined Elon Musk’s platform X €120 million for a deceptive blue‑verification badge, opaque advertising data, and denying researcher access, citing Digital Services Act breaches. Musk responded with hostile remarks, urging EU abolition, while U.S. officials condemned the penalty as regulatory overreach. X must submit a verification remedial plan within 60 days and address ad‑repository transparency within 90 days, facing further penalties for non‑compliance. The fine highlights mounting EU regulation, forcing X to revamp its identity‑management and ad‑tech systems, with broader trade‑policy ramifications.
