The EU has suspended its investigation into Elon Musk's X during trade negotiations with the US!

The EU has suspended its investigation into X, the social network owned by Elon Musk, as it is currently engaged in trade negotiations with the US.

The EU was originally scheduled to release the investigation results this summer, but missed the deadline, according to the Financial Times. This decision depends on the progress of trade negotiations between Washington and Brussels, as no one wants to put the US president in a difficult position because of this social network and escalate transatlantic trade conflicts.

The EU's investigation into X began in December 2023. The European Commission suspected the company had violated the Digital Services Act, which requires internet service providers to remove content labeled as banned by the EU without a court order.

Earlier in April, the New York Times reported that European regulators were considering fines of over $1 billion against X.
