The EU is slated to fine Elon Musk's X up to $1 billion for breaking a disinformation law as it hopes to make an example out of the social media platform to deter disinformation on others

Summary

The EU plans to fine Elon Musk’s X over $1 billion for violating the Digital Services Act by failing to control disinformation and illicit content.

This would mark the first major penalty under the new law and could trigger a legal clash with Musk, who vowed to fight in court.

Regulators say the fine aims to deter other platforms. Tensions with the U.S. are rising, as X also faces a broader investigation.
