European Fascists Hate Elon Musk
Where is the president? Where is the secretary of state? Where is our an ambassador to the UN?
OK, we know the president is essentially comatose on a Delaware beach, but surely someone in the administration capable of coherent thought could grab a microphone and warn the European Union to back off. They need to understand that threatening US citizens for exercising their constitutional rights on social media will not go well for them.
The European Union’s “digital enforcer” has been hounding Elon Musk for months. The EU, you see, has rules against free speech and was desperate earlier this week to protect its delicate citizens from hearing Musk’s X interview with former President Donald Trump.
No, this is not a joke.
Stern warnings were issued on Monday to Musk - the man who single-handedly saved free speech in America - by the EU’s digital mob boss.
Here’s an excerpt from Politico:
Europe's Digital Commissioner Thierry Breton reminded the world's richest man of his legal obligation to stop the "amplification of harmful content."
The EU in July charged X, which Musk bought in 2022, for failing to respect its social media laws. The platform faces multimillion euro fines.
“As the relevant content is accessible to EU users and being amplified also in our jurisdiction, we cannot exclude potential spillovers in the EU,” Breton said in a statement posted on X.
Breton added that “any negative effect of illegal content” could lead the EU to take further action against X, using "our full toolbox, including by adopting interim measures, should it be warranted to protect EU citizens from harm."
If you didn’t already know, you do now: The fascists are running Europe. Again. And this time, they aren’t confined to Germany and Italy. They’re everywhere. Including in Great Britain, which is not an official part of the EU.
In fact, Britain’s Prime Minister Kier Starmer is threatening to issue arrest warrants for Musk if he continues to post truthful observations to his 193 million X followers that suggest unfettered immigration and rioting in the streets could portend a brewing civil war in Britain.
Makes you appreciate George Washington all the more, doesn’t it?
But where is modern-day the leadership in America? Who will remind these European fops that we fought a war so we wouldn’t have to care what they thought about us? And we fought two wars and spilled oceans of American blood to preserve their freedoms.
Europe needs the U.S. more than we need Europe.
Frankly, it’s becoming increasingly awkward to be tied up in a military treaty - NATO - with these nutty authoritarians.
Many Americans are already questioning the value of NATO. There is no doubt that loose talk among member nations about allowing Ukraine to join the alliance provoked Vladimir Putin into attacking that nation on his border.
Elon Musk, a naturalized American citizen with a firm grasp on what liberty actually means, isn’t afraid of these tyrants.
Time for the Biden administration to tell our European allies to back off, learn to embrace free speech or risk losing our friendship.
And more importantly, our dollars.
