00:00Elon Musk's insults may cost him dearly.
00:02It all starts with a request from the European Commissioner, Thierry Breton,
00:06who demands that X respect European laws in terms of moderation of hate speech.
00:10Elon Musk, true to himself, responds to a public insult by sharing a vulgar image of a movie.
00:16This confrontation is not just verbal, it could have heavy financial consequences.
00:21The European Union has already launched an investigation on X,
00:23suspected of not moderating violent and hateful content enough.
00:27The procedure is still underway, but if the violation is definitively established,
00:31X could be sentenced to a fine of up to 6% of its global annual turnover,
00:36that is $204 million.
00:38And if the company refuses to apply the corrective measures,
00:41it could be fined a daily fine of 5% of its turnover.
00:45If this is not enough and the infraction causes serious damage,
00:49the European Commission could even temporarily suspend X in Europe.
00:52A hard blow, knowing that of the 300 million users of the platform,
00:56a third are in Europe.
