The US president criticized EU penalties on American companies, labeling them as extortion. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed the digital rule book remains unchanged. The EU recently fined Apple and Meta €700 million for antitrust violations, while investigations under the Digital Services Act regarding X and content moderation continue. Anna Cavazzini has expressed hope for prompt action on X's case. Additionally, lawmakers are urging an inquiry into Musk's Grok chatbot for antisemitic comments.
The commission said the "proceedings against X under the DSA are ongoing," adding that the enforcement of "our legislation is independent of the current ongoing negotiations."
In April, the bloc imposed a total of €700 million fines on Apple and Facebook owner Meta for breaching antitrust rules.
Anna Cavazzini, a European lawmaker for the Greens, said she expected the commission "to move on decisively with its investigation against X as soon as possible."
Some European lawmakers, as well as the Polish government, are also pressing the commission to open an investigation into Musk's Grok chatbot after it spewed out antisemitic tropes last week.
