EU vows to defend its stand against X after the US backs a court challenge from Elon Musk
The European Union's executive branch announced on Friday its readiness to defend a 120 million euro ($137 million) fine imposed on social media platform X. The U.S. government backed a legal effort by Elon Musk to overturn the decision. This comes after the EU fined X last year for breaching digital regulations. The U.S. Justice Department intervened on Thursday in support of Musk's bid to dismiss the case at the European Union's General Court.
This is the second time in three months that the Justice Department has defended a company owned by Musk.
