French Minister Warns Musk Against Undermining Democracy

French minister Jean-Noël Barrot has warned Elon Musk not to undermine democracy as he did with Twitter, now known as X, following Musk's involvement in a call between U.S. president-elect Trump and Ukraine's Zelenskyy. Barrot, who criticized Musk's management of the platform in 2022, emphasized the importance of regulated social networks and compliance with the EU's Digital Services Act. French President Macron, who congratulated Trump on his election victory, suggested the EU should seek greater independence from the U.S. and China.
