In a series of posts on X, the billionaire owner of the platform threatened legal action "so that the people of Europe can know the truth"

Elon Musk has hit out at the European Commission, claiming it tried to make an "illegal secret deal" with X over compliance with new EU rules to prevent online misinformation.

It comes as the Commission announced on Friday that Musk’s social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, had breached elements of the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA).

"The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us," the billionaire tech mogul posted on X.
