Elon Musk mocked the European Union with a single unserious reply after his social media platform, X, was fined €45 million.The European Commission had launched a formal investigation against X under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This new investigation is an extension of the first investigation launched in December 2023. However, this time, it focuses more on how the platform, X, has deployed its AI tool, Grok, in the EU.According to Henna Virkkunen, the Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy,"Sexual deepfakes of women and children are a violent, unacceptable form of degradation. With this investigation, we will determine whether X has met its legal obligations under the DSA, or whether it treated rights of European citizens - including those of women and children - as collateral damage of its service."The commission has set the goal to further check if the AI assistant, Grok, complies with the DSA's regulations. The criterion is,"- Diligently assess and mitigate systemic risks, including of the dissemination of illegal content, negative effects in relation to gender-based violence, and serious negative consequences to physical and mental well-being stemming from deployments of Grok's functionalities into its platform.""- Conduct and transmit to the Commission an ad hoc risk assessment report for Grok's functionalities in the X service with a critical impact on X's risk profile prior to their deployment."Elon Musk mocks the European UnionOne of the examples of deception the EU mentioned is the fact that the parody account of "Donald Duck" has a blue checkmark, which represents that the account is verified. Based on this and other such instances, they have fined X €45 million.In the X account of the House Committee on the Judiciary, Republicans called out the European Union, implying that they are exaggerating about something that should be obvious.They posted, "The Commission even gave an example of what it found so objectionable: a blue checkmark on a Donald Duck parody account. It called the practice “deceptive.” That’s right—the Commission fined X €45 million because its practices might lead users to believe that 1) this fictional duck had come to life, and 2) was a real X user."This was followed by another post stating, "Can’t make this up. The EU fined X €45 million after concluding people would think Donald Duck was a real person. Give me a break.Elon Musk also decided to give his 2 cents on the situation. He agreed with the House Committee and also mocked the EU with just one single word, "Lmaooo", replying to their tweet.Elon Musk completed his acquisition of X, formerly known as Twitter, on October 27, 2022, and launched the first version of Grok in November 2023.
