00:00Over the weekend there was yet another battle between the EU and Elon Musk, who claims the European Union should be dismantled.

00:10It sounds extreme, but if you look at the timetable, the bells have been ringing for some time already.

00:17Let's go back to July 2024. Musk claimed Brussels offered him a secret illegal deal to censor speech.

00:26Fact check. It was a standard compliance procedure offered to every platform, but Musk used it to frame himself as a victim.

00:36Then was August 2024. The European Commission sent a formal warning letter to follow EU law.

00:43In response, Musk tweeted a very non-diplomatic meme from the movie Tropic Thunder.

00:49In late 2024, he told German voters to buck the far-right alternative for Deutschland.

00:56And then he attacked Italian judges on migration, claiming they need to go.

01:02And his current battle is against the 120 million euro fine for his social media platform X.

01:08However, the fine is not about supposed censorship, but about consumer fraud.

01:15It means selling verification to anyone, including bots, actively blocking researchers from seeing public data,

01:23and hiding who actually pays for the ads you see.

01:29Given that the penalty is well below the maximum possible fine, we need to ask one question.

01:37Is the game you play, Elon, actually about business? Or maybe it's about something else?

01:44What happens?

01:46x

Elon Musk's war against the EU — should it really be 'dismantled'?
