The European Union moved to make its new Digital Services Act (DSA) felt on Friday, accusing Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) of breaching these European Union rules, and threatening fines. Musk hit back immediately, saying the DSA itself was the source of “misinformation” and alleging the European Union had tried to broker a secret deal with him to achieve EU-directed censorship.

He wrote in his claim: “The European Commission offered [X] an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.” Musk asserted “The other platforms accepted that deal” but that he did not. …

As stated by Reuters today, the European Union has accused X of being insufficiently transparent, and notes the rules require social media platforms to tackle “illegal content” and “risks to public security”. The European Union has also said it is dissatisfied with X’s blue check system, saying it does not “correspond to industry practice”.

Per the report, if X/Musk refuses to bow to the European Union’s demands, the bloc could attempt to fine the company six per cent of its global turnover and “require significant changes” of the way the company is run. Twitter could be banned from operating in Europe at all, theoretically. …

Father in Heaven, I pray for Elon’s salvation. May he hear the gospel preached in a way he can understand and not harden his heart against it, coming to a full realization that he needs a savior. I pray that You reveal Yourself to Him and that He is cut to the Heart by Your Lovingkindness and Your Holiness. I pray for his deliverance from the love of money and the snares of this world. Gather Him to yourself I pray for Your Glorly. In Jesus’s Name. Amen.

    Amen! Please Lord, also give Elon the wisdom and discernment to hear and know your word and your calling and not the false words of others. Amen

As I have for President Trump, I also pray for Elon’s protection by God over him and his family and for God to lead Elon’s heart and soul to him as per his will. In God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit’s name, Amen.
