US seeks to join Musk’s court challenge to EU’s €120M fine on X

The United States has filed an application with the EU General Court to intervene in Elon Musk’s legal challenge seeking to overturn a €120 million EU fine against X over online-rule breaches. The European Commission alleges X violated transparency requirements and misled users through the design of its verification program. Washington argues the Commission overstepped its regulatory authority by trying to control American companies.

This is notable less for the fine itself than for the entry of a national government into a platform's regulatory appeal, turning a compliance dispute into a test of how far the EU can extend its rules to foreign firms. The intervention touches the wider question of jurisdictional reach that other US platforms operating in Europe also face. Whether the court accepts the US application, and how it frames the extraterritorial limits of EU oversight, is the part worth watching.
