EU Slaps €120M Fine on Elon Musk's X, Igniting Trump Admin Tensions

  • The EU fined Elon Musk’s X 120 million euros for violating its Digital Services Act (DSA).
  • The fine targets X's non-compliance with transparency rules and "deceptive design" in its blue checkmark system.
  • US Vice President JD Vance criticized the EU's action, calling it an "attack" on American companies and censorship.
  • EU officials defended the fine, stating it's about transparency and enforcing digital legislation, not censorship.
  • The decision is part of an ongoing investigation into X's practices under the DSA.

Why It Matters: EU's X fine shows its resolve to regulate Big Tech, sparking US political tension.
