      Because of the supporting post by US billionaire Elon Musk for AfD, CDU MEPs are calling on the EU Commission to: Examine the visibility of his contributions on platform X.. Numerous users reported that they regularly see Musk’s content in their feeds without following him or actively dealing with his contributions, write Daniel Caspary, Chairman of the CDU / CSU Group in the EU Parliament, and MEP Andreas Schwab in one Letter. “This throws fundamental questions about transparency and neutrality the recommendation algorithms used by X.”

      The letter addressed to the responsible EU commissioners Henna Virkkunen and Michael McGrath is available to the German press agency. In particular, the question arises whether these practices violate EU requirements such as the so-called Digital Services Act (DSA). Tiktok, Facebook, X, Google and many others have to according to this EU law faster and sharper than before against illegal content act online, otherwise they face high penalties. The CDU politicians ask for a timely and thorough review.

      It’s common sense that he’s a russian agent.

      Look at how he reacts to anything pro ukraine or EU. It’s the same exact talking points you will find from russian bots on reddit, tiktok and youtube. They’re trying to promote “nationalistic” (which really just means pro russia”) and anti european solidarity and unification which is one of the goals of russia. He’s promoting nigel farage, AFD, ukraine surrendering to russia and not giving ukraine any aid, US leaving NATO, Orban, etc.

      Many of the investors for X/Twitter that helped him acquire it are russian oligarchs that have already been sanctioned in some ways for their ties to the government. I am sure he’s getting directions from them.

      Most concerning is – he been in contact with putin for the past 2 years (same timeframe of X’s acquisition).

      Russia is shit at war with shitty soldiers, but one thing they’re good at is spying and acquiring agents and assets.

      I would also like each individual EU member-state to do their investigation and ban Twitter/X if needed. Letting only the EU do the work will push even more Musk to take action against the EU. Germany, among other, need to put some skin in the game.

      Not surprised, the CDU is being aped on its right flank and can’t seem to figure out a solution to win those voters back.

      Next election will be spicy

      Remind him that the biggest man in buiness is as relevant to the second largest economy on earth as the biggest ant in the anthill.

      The sooner nation states start declaring oligarchs who use money and influence to misinform as enemies of the state and start sanctions the better. This world is being completely corrupted and overtly taken over by authoritarians.

      Twitter has made it so easy for Chinese, Russian and Iranian bots to influence social media so much and spread misinformation. There is a professor in Japan called Maiko Ichihara who has researched about it recently( not directly at twitter but entire social media apparatus)
