EU Fines Elon Musk's X Platform €120 Million

The EU fined X 120 million euros. X is Elon Musk's social media platform. This is because X broke the EU's digital rules.

The EU started checking X two years ago. They used the Digital Services Act, or DSA. The DSA makes platforms protect users and stop illegal content.

The EU said X broke transparency rules. This might make Donald Trump angry. He thinks the EU is unfairly targeting American tech companies.

Marco Rubio said the fine is an attack on Americans. Elon Musk agreed with Rubio. JD Vance said the EU is trying to censor X.

The EU said the rules are not meant to hurt tech companies. They are based on a fair process. The EU also checked TikTok, but TikTok will make changes.
