Elon Musk unleashes fury after X hit with $140million fine by the EU and says it ‘should be abolished’ | 6 Dec 2025 | Elon Musk was left fuming at the European Union as its executive branch fined his social media platform X $140 million after claiming it failed to comply with transparency rules. “The EU should be abolished and sovereignty returned to individual countries,” Musk wrote Saturday morning on X. He said this should happen “so that governments can better represent their people.” Hours later, Musk asked: “How long before the EU is gone?” Musk’s barrage of posts continued with him adding that Europe was “sleep–walking into oblivion.” The European Union’s primary executive arm announced Thursday that it had fined X €120 million (approximately $140 million) over “breaching its transparency obligations” under the EU’s Digital Services Act.
