US President Trump said at the White House on December 8 that it was “bad and inappropriate” for the European Union to fine 120 million euros on the social media platform X owned by American entrepreneur Musk. Trump said that Musk did not call him for help on this matter, and said he did not understand “how the EU can do this” and that he will discuss the matter after receiving a full report on the matter. Trump also warned Europe to be “very careful” because Europe is heading in a bad direction. Earlier, the European Commission announced on December 5 that it had made the first “non-compliance decision” under the “Digital Services Act” and fined the X platform 120 million euros. The move sparked discontent on the US side, and Musk and several US government officials all objected to it.
