Musk Strikes Back At EU ‘Tyrants’ After X Fine
“I didn’t do the Twitter purchase because I thought it was a great way to make money. I knew that there would be a zillion slings and arrows coming in my direction.” ~Elon Musk
(ZH) – Elon Musk is not taking the outrageous fine from Brussels bureaucrats lying down, lashing out at EU officialdom for taking on Nazi characteristics and oppressing their own citizens’ best interests…

As Catherine Salgado reports for PJMedia.com, Musk also re-shared a post about Irish teacher Enoch Burke, who was jailed for refusing to use transgender pronouns, and later replied to another user, “So many politicians in Europe who are traitors to their own people.”
And Musk highlighted the fact that Meta has a verification program similar to X’s, yet the EU hasn’t onerously fined the more censorship-prone Meta.
Musk reposted and reiterated his previous explanation of why he bought X (then Twitter) in the first place.
“I didn’t do the Twitter purchase because I thought it was a great way to make money. I knew that there would be a zillion slings and arrows coming in my direction.
It really felt like, there was a civilizational danger that unless one of the major online platforms broke ranks, then, because they’re all just behaving in lockstep along with the legacy media.
Literally there was no place to actually get the truth. It was almost impossible. So everything was just getting censored. The power of the censorship apparatus was incredible,” Musk said.
The EU seems to be borrowing ideas from 20th century Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler…
Musk confirmed that another user’s report that X terminated the EU Commission’s advertising account was accurate in the wake of the fine.
Twitter used to charge around $15,000 for a blue check verification, while an X Premium subscription is now only a few dollars a month.
Are EU bureaucrats simply angry that the ordinary citizens are now able to afford the verification that used to be reserved to the famous and the wealthy?

For years, many in the free speech community (most vehemently, Jonathan Turley) have warned about the threat of the European Union to free speech, particularly in the enactment of the infamous Digital Services Act (DSA).
The EU has virtually declared war on free speech and is targeting American companies.
That war just began with the first DSA fine.
Not surprisingly, X was the chosen target – a company blamed by many in the EU and the U.S. for rolling back free-speech protections.
In essence, it’s punishment for not bending the knee to the EU’s iron-fisted control over online content.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
