Elon Musk called for the EU to be abolished, and of all the responses, this Polish politician spoke for an entire continent
Elon Musk‘s stewardship of the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) continues to reap dividends – for people mocking him, that is.
Weeks after Musk ordered that all of Twitter/X users’ location data be shared – revealing just how many foreign bots drive MAGA outrage online – Musk has been fined $140m (€120m/£105m) by the European Commission for how it verifies ‘blue ticks’ on the platform, among other transparency violations.

Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA.
We're holding X accountable for:
Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’
Lack of transparency of its advertising repository
Failure to provide access to public data for researchers↓

Predictably, Musk kicked off about the fine, calling for the EU to be abolished.

His anti-EU sentiments found, erm, sympathetic allies.

Others across the continent had their own responses to Musk’s tantrum.

Musk is having a full blown tantrum because the EU fined him $120m, the equivalent of the typical family being fined less than $100.

The EU enforcing transparency rules isn’t a threat to freedom. It’s Musk suggesting dismantling a democratic union over a fine that’s the real red flag. Don't be fooled.

But perhaps none said it better than Polish deputy prime minister and foreign affairs minister, Radosław Sikorski, who replied with:

Radosław’s response has since gone viral, deservedly.
