EU Dismisses ‘Completely Crazy Statements’ After Musk Attack

The European Union on Monday dismissed online attacks by tech tycoon Elon Musk after his social media platform X was fined 120 million euros ($140 million) by Brussels.

“It’s part of freedom of speech to put out even completely crazy statements,” EU spokeswoman Paula Pinho said.

European Union nations also backed a significant tightening of migration rules on Monday, including allowing for “return hubs” for failed asylum-seekers to be set up outside the 27-country bloc. (AFP)
