This “Elon is free to do what he wants on Twitter, and you’re free to move elsewhere” is a very american take.

Elon must comply with European laws and regulations in data protection, anti-trust, anti-discrimination, etc or the EU will seize his property to enforce fines or make Twitter unavailable for EU.

I agree with you in theory. In practice, Musk can do enormous damage before legal enforcement reins him in, and we need to be able to do something while we wait for that to happen.
