🚨 EU vs Elon Musk: The Fine That Made X Even Stronger
The European Union thought a €120 million fine would hurt X (formerly Twitter)…
But the exact opposite happened. 😮🔥
📌 What Actually Happened?
– The EU fined X under the new Digital Services Act (DSA)
– The goal: Pressure X over content moderation and “misinformation” rules
– Elon Musk’s reaction?
A laughing meme and absolute zero fear 😆

Right after the fine, things went wild:
