    It will be an interesting test case for sure, whether the EU is willing to take down X/Twitter/whatever if they don't comply. Or if they offer up some half-assed compliance, as per Elon Musk's signature passive aggressive style.

    If the EU doesn't react forcefully to that, these regulations will be as good as dead, because why should anyone else comply if Elon gets a free pass?

    ... if you're a fan of Elon boy, white supremacy, the alt-right, homophobia, "anti woke" propaganda, or making excuses for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

    Otherwise it's shite.
