Friday saw some fireworks when Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, went off on social media about the European Commission's move. They just slapped Elon Musk's platform with a hefty 120 million euro fine over digital rule violations. Rubio didn't hold back his criticism of the EU's decision, making his stance pretty clear on the matter. The penalty stems from alleged breaches of the bloc's digital regulations, putting X squarely in Brussels' crosshairs. This clash highlights the growing tension between tech platforms and regulatory bodies across the Atlantic.

Damn, the US and EU are at it again, this time over X? Rubio really dares to speak his mind, doesn’t even bother giving the EU any face. That €120 million fine from the EU... Musk must be hurting. These two are starting to look more and more like sworn enemies.

Huh, Rubio is speaking up for Musk again? When did these two start being on the same side? --- About the EU fining X, honestly, it's just two camps fighting, there's really no right or wrong. --- A €120 million fine is just pocket change for Musk... --- That's why I say the US and Europe are bound to fall out sooner or later—their interests just don't align. --- Every time I see this kind of news, I wonder, who actually gets to make the rules? --- X has been in Europe for so many years and still hasn't learned to keep a low profile? --- Rubio stepping up to refute the EU—feels like he's slapping his own allies in the face.

Is Rubio about to clash with the EU again? A 120 million euro fine on a platform is really tough...

Rubio is passing the buck again. The EU fining X is basically just a regulatory power game.

Rubio is really something, standing up for Musk... But honestly, 120 million euros does sting. X is really being targeted this time, the EU is playing for real. When the US and EU clash, it's the platform users who get hurt... Who did Musk offend? Why is he always being targeted? This compliance storm is just beginning, there’s more to come. Rubio speaking up for X is interesting... definitely a political move. The EU loves this kind of thing, handing out fines at the drop of a hat.
