Musk has been riding a high this week, after playing a key role in Donald Trump’s victorious campaign to take back the White House.
Trump has indicated he would reward his billionaire supporter, vowing in a speech in September to establish a government efficiency commission headed by Musk if he won the election.
But Musk has been on a collision course with European officials, fighting regulators and governments on multiple fronts. He has attracted criticism for his management of X, facing accusations that he has allowed hate speech to fester on the site.
The latest development in his ongoing battle with the EU is a possible move by the European Commission to take into account his other companies, including SpaceX and Neuralink, when it calculates a potential fine against X for breaches of the bloc’s content moderation law, the Digital Services Act.
