Brussels, Belgium: 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) by Brussels.
“It's part of freedom of speech to put out even completely crazy statements,” EU spokesperson Paula Pinho said.
Musk hit out at the EU over the weekend saying that it "should be abolished and autonomy returned to individual countries."
“I love Europe, but not the bureaucratic monster that is the EU,” he added in another post.
Following a high-profile probe seen as a test of EU resolve to police Big Tech, the social media platform owned by the world's richest person was slapped with a fine on Friday for breaking the bloc's digital rules.
