E.U. Meddles in U.S. Elections: Demands Elon Musk Censor Trump on X or Face Devastating Legal Action
In a move that reeks of desperation and an unsettling thirst for control, European Commission member Thierry Breton has taken it upon himself to send a sternly worded letter to none other than Elon Musk. The reason? Breton’s apparent discomfort with the upcoming interview between Musk and former President Donald Trump on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.
This letter, sent on August 12, 2024, is nothing short of a blatant attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the United States, particularly its democratic processes. Breton’s missive is laced with veiled threats and warnings, masquerading as concern over “misinformation” and “hate speech.” But let’s not mince words here—this is an outright attack on free speech and a clear attempt to suppress a voice that millions of Americans have chosen to listen to.
Breton’s letter states, “It is imperative that the X platform ensures the strictest compliance with the European Digital Services Act, especially in the context of content moderation. The spread of misinformation and the potential for incitement to violence are risks that cannot be ignored, especially with high-profile figures like Mr. Trump.” This is not the first time the European Union has attempted to impose its authoritarian views on free and open platforms, but it is perhaps the most egregious.
Let’s get one thing straight—Thierry Breton, a bureaucrat from across the Atlantic, has no business telling Americans what they can or cannot hear. His letter is a clear violation of the principles of sovereignty and freedom of expression that underpin not just the U.S. Constitution but the very essence of Western democracy.
Breton goes on to suggest that failure to comply with his “concerns” could result in severe consequences for Musk and his platform. He writes, “Should there be any failure to adhere to the guidelines set forth, the European Commission will have no choice but to explore all available legal avenues, including but not limited to financial penalties and potential restrictions within the European market.”
This is the crux of the matter—Breton’s letter is nothing more than an attempt to bully and intimidate. It’s about power, control, and the European Union’s desire to dictate the narrative, not just within its borders but globally. Breton’s fear is not of misinformation, but of the truth—a truth that is inconvenient to the globalist agenda he and his ilk are so desperate to advance.
Elon Musk, for his part, has shown no signs of backing down. As a champion of free speech and an advocate for open dialogue, Musk’s platform, X, has become a beacon of hope for those tired of the censorship and cancel culture that has plagued social media. His decision to interview Donald Trump is a testament to his commitment to providing a platform for all voices, regardless of how controversial they may be.
The American people deserve to hear from their leaders, past and present. They deserve to make up their own minds about the issues that matter most to them. Thierry Breton’s attempt to meddle in this process is not just an insult to Elon Musk or Donald Trump—it’s an insult to the very principles of democracy.
It’s high time that European bureaucrats like Breton stop trying to police the world and start focusing on the issues within their own borders. The United States is not a colony of the European Union, and it never will be. Thierry Breton can write all the letters he wants, but the American spirit of freedom and independence will not be silenced. Not now, not ever.
