Elon Musk calls for 'abolition' of EU as the regional bloc slaps €120 mn fine on X
Tesla CEO Elon Musk called for the “abolition” of the European Union after the regional bloc fined his social media platform X a whopping €120 million. On Saturday, the billionaire lashed out over the matter and threatened to pursue each country individually in a series of posts on the site.
X, formerly known as Twitter, was fined over transparency breaches. “The EU should be abolished, and sovereignty returned to individual countries, so that governments can better represent their people,” Musk wrote in a post on Saturday, shortly after the ruling. Hours later, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk defended the bloc, insisting that Europe was America’s closest ally.
After a thorough investigation which went on for two years, the European Commission ruled against X on three counts. It found that the ‘blue tick’ verification badge was deceptive, as users could simply pay for the privilege; that there was a lack of transparency over advertisers on the site, falling foul of safeguards against scams and illegal promotions; and that researchers were denied access to what should be public data.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
