> Unlike Google, Meta, Apple and Amazon, which are publicly traded, X is owned solely by Mr. Musk. EU regulators are considering using a piece of the law that lets them calculate a fine based on revenue that also includes other companies Mr. Musk privately controls, like his rocket maker, SpaceX. That increases the potential penalty to well over $1 billion, one person said.

Is the NYT wrong here or is the EU? It's private but it's not "solely owned" by a longshot. Either way, this is some pretty amazing Calvinball even by EC standards.

Call it by its name. It’s lawfare.

The EU is trying to coerce X to limit freedom of speech for everyone worldwide, including Americans.

Talk about a nice NATO ally eh, trying to lawfare your constitutionally granted freedoms away?
