The European Commission threatened to take action against Elon Musk over his upcoming interview with Donald Trump, slated to air on X Monday evening.
European Commissioner Thierry Breton warned Musk in a public letter that the Commission is closely monitoring the situation, and that any dissemination of speech which could “incite violence, hate and racism” could be used in the already-ongoing EU case against Musk. Breton said the Commission may use “interim measures” to “protect EU citizens from serious harm” should the broadcast violate the EU’s Digital Services Act — strongly suggesting the interview could be pulled from the internet in the EU.
The EU Commission charged Musk in July for DSA violations involving alleged disinformation and illegal hate speech, threatening millions of dollars in fines.
