The European Commission has asked Ilon Musk to remove an interview with former US President Donald Trump from the X platform (formerly Twitter). Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for Internal Market Affairs, said that Musk needs to take measures to mitigate the consequences of spreading harmful content, emphasizing that in case of refusal, legal consequences from the European Union may follow.

The move by the European Commission has drawn mixed reactions, especially amid growing controversy surrounding free speech on social media and the role of major platforms in content management. The EU has been pushing for greater control over content that could be deemed disruptive or dangerous, especially if it deals with politically sensitive topics.

Ilon Musk, the owner of Platform X, has not yet given an official response to this demand. However, given the entrepreneur's previous statements about free speech, many expect him to oppose these demands. The situation could lead to serious consequences both for the X platform and for the relationship between the European Union and Musk.
