France urges EU to get tough on Musk's political comments as bloc struggles for a response

^{Published on 2025-01-08 11:40:38 - MSN}

France urged the European Union to use its laws more robustly to defend itself against outside interference and Spain's prime minister lambasted Elon Musk on Wednesday, as the U.S. tech billionaire steps up his comments about European politics.

The article discusses France's push for the European Union to take a firm stance against Elon Musk's political comments, particularly in light of his influence over X (formerly Twitter) and his interactions with European leaders. French officials are concerned about Musk's potential to sway public opinion and his recent controversial statements, including his support for far-right figures and his criticism of EU policies. The EU is grappling with how to respond, balancing the need to uphold democratic values and freedom of speech against the influence of tech moguls like Musk. This situation has sparked a debate on the regulation of social media platforms and the role of their owners in political discourse, with France advocating for a more robust regulatory framework to manage such influential figures.
