Elon Musk’s X marks the spot of the first confirmed investigation opened by the European Union under its rebooted digital rulebook, the Digital Services Act (DSA). Its earlier actions were focused on concerns about the spread of illegal content and disinformation related to the Israel-Hamas war. So the Commission’s official scrutiny of X could have real world implications for how the platform operates sooner rather than later. However the Commission obviously has doubts X has gone far enough on the transparency front to meet the DSA’s bar. The investigation may also test Musk’s mettle for what could be an expensive head-on clash with EU regulators.
