EU, disinformation launched an investigation against the platform and stated that incorrect information was shown to users. Authorities wanted this problem to be solved by warning Musk.
However, the disinformation circulating in X could not be prevented. There is still misinformation circulating about what happened on the platform. A claim made today shows that Musk may choose another way to get rid of the pressures instead of finding a solution to the problem.
Elon Musk may block access to X in Europe
