Elon Musk gave an epic one-word response to the European Commission's fine of $140 million because it claimed the social media platform X had failed to control what it labeled "harmful" content, in a brazen move to control free speech.
In a video posted on Friday by the EU tech regulators, it announced that Musk was being fined for the following:

After calling “Bullshit” on the announcement, in a follow-up post sometime later, Musk included what a threat to democracy this fine was:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio backed Musk's comments and concerns. His post has since gone viral with 8 million views and counting.
U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr also blasted it.
While the EU's executive claimed in the video that the fine had nothing to do with "content moderation," even Reuters pointed out that the fine included punishing X, i.e., Musk, for not controlling what it deemed "harmful content" on the platform.
The report read:
The EU sanction against X followed a two-year-long investigation under the bloc's Digital Services Act (DSA), which requires online platforms to do more to tackle illegal and harmful content.
So, yeah, censorship. This is crazy and wrong.
