The United States government is seeking to join a legal challenge brought by Elon Musk to overturn a 120 million euro fine imposed by the European Commission on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The European Commission accused X of violating transparency requirements and misleading users through the design of its verification program. The US has filed an application with the General Court of the European Union supporting X's effort to dismiss the case, arguing that the European Commission engaged in 'regulatory overreach' by attempting to control an American company. The move escalates a transatlantic dispute over the regulation of major US tech firms by the EU.
