EU Warns Elon Musk: "Musk's X is the Biggest Purveyor of Disinformation"

TL;DR Summary
The European Commissioner has warned Elon Musk that the European Union (EU) will be closely monitoring his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), after it was found to have the highest ratio of disinformation posts among large social media platforms. X has left the EU's code of practice, but the EU has made it clear that the new laws on disinformation will still apply to the platform, potentially leading to a ban. The EU's report analyzed posts that will be considered illegal under the Digital Services Act, with X and Facebook being the worst offenders. The EU is particularly concerned about Russian hackers meddling in upcoming European elections.
