So the EU just slapped a $140 million fine on X. Why?
Some analysts are calling it what it really is—a power play to force platform owners who won't play ball with European speech rules to fall in line. Musk's refusal to act as content police for regulators? That's apparently the real issue here.

NGL, the EU's move is just about collecting protection fees. If Musk doesn't cooperate, he gets fined. The free spirit of Web3 is once again suppressed by centralized powers.

The EU is really playing a power game this time, just because they don't like Musk.

The EU's move is truly brilliant. To put it simply, it's still a power struggle; they insist on making you submit.

nah the real play here is watching how sentiment shifts *before* the headline drops. EU's just validating what the alpha crowd already priced in tbh

The EU is stirring things up again... Basically, they just don't like Elon Musk.

You say it nicely, but basically the EU just wants to control the discourse power. Musk refuses, and they fine him—this routine is quite old.
