I am waiting for experienced legal analysis of the E.U.s Thierry Bretton letter to Elon Musk, but I know this much. Unlike Musk, he's not playing around.

"I will be extremely vigilant to any breaches of the DSA and will not hesitate to make full use of our toolbox, including interim measures to protect EU citizens from harm."

The EUs warning to Twitter after the riots in the U.K. and before Musk's interview with Trump.

EU’s Breton warns Musk on hate speech ahead of Trump interview; receives profane response

“With great audience comes greater responsibility.”

POLITICO

State of this. He's an utter wally.

Meanwhile, Thierry Breton has got his own meme game going on. Isn't this nicer?

There is still no official response from EU Digital Commissioner Thierry Breton over last night's Twitter incident.

Musk responded to an official E.U. warning letter about Twitter disinformation with a Tropic Thunder meme.

No, really, this happened. See posts above.

You might interpret this as a dignified silence from a civilised European who won't stoop to infantile levels.

But no. It's not that. In Europe, we call this collecting evidence.

Keep shitposting, meme boy. We're watching.

As I said earlier, here, Elon, have a bigger shovel.
How long before Twitter board members decide they don’t want to go to jail?

@BashStKid
I don't know, but they've only got a couple of hours until the Trump interview to stage an intervention.

"The fact that we have secretaries of state begging a narcissistic billionaire to behave himself suggests to me that we as a society are highly endangered and unprotected by a lack of responsibility and hard decision making that should be made at the highest levels of government"

Yup

@ProjectFearlessness perhaps just block the thing in the EU. He clearly doesn't give a dam so treat him appropriately.

Gambit magistral, monsieur.

@ProjectFearlessness How dirty is it that the CEO of Twitter is a footnote CC at the bottom of this letter.

"We know who's really running this company. Dont be stupid."

@SomeGadgetGuy
That was a nice touch, I thought. I just hope they notice. It could be a bit subtle for both of them.

@ProjectFearlessness LOL Yeah. A bit of a WOOSH moment I'm sure, considering Musk's ego.

@SomeGadgetGuy
A whole lot is going whoosh tonight. Have you seen the latest?

@ProjectFearlessness Ugh.
He's trying SO HARD to be an edgy 20 something lulz-bro.

It's so bad. He's such a cringe-y weirdo.

@SomeGadgetGuy
It's so bad. Even his core audience of infant losers must be feeling a bit embarrassed for him by now.

@ProjectFearlessness Yo. I've seen SO MANY folks contorting themselves into pretzels to still hold on to this idea that "team musky" is the right side to be on.
They WANT it to be a cult.

@SomeGadgetGuy
You're right. I'm just old enough to remember when cults would have a charismatic leader. This one's such a disappointment.

@ProjectFearlessness 😂😂😂

Recent review on CultAdvisor:
"Smells bad and get winded too quickly during group activities. Memes are getting stale.
3/10 Would not Cult with again."

@SomeGadgetGuy
This one's not going to go the distance. Bring the old orange cult guy back.

@ProjectFearlessness Hope he gets slapped with those consequences.
