Donald Trump escalated criticism of Europe, saying the continent was 'going in some bad directions' and calling it 'very bad, very bad for the people.' He condemned a recent EU penalty against Elon Musk's social media platform X and questioned how the EU could impose the fine. EU tech authorities fined X €120 million for alleged breaches of digital transparency and content-management rules and cited data-access and transparency issues. Musk rejected the penalty and reposted messages criticizing the decision, invoking freedom of speech. Senior US officials said the EU was targeting American firms and warned of democratic 'erosion' in Europe.
