Morning Wire
The EU Censorship Fight You Didn’t Know About

But he is paying a price right now for that, and it's a price that needs to matter to every single citizen of the world and American citizens as well because what the EU is trying to do by fining X $140 million –

They're trying to force them and punish them in a way that makes them comply with these draconian speech standards in the EU rather than being the speech platform that Elon promised X would be.

And so, I mean, we're in a worldwide battle over free speech.

X isn't an EU company.

But the EU is –

dedicated to making sure that American companies comply with their speech standards or pay a dear price.
