Whether the bigwigs at the European Union Jackboot Division thought that Theirry Breton’s letter generated too much blowback or that it was too heavy-handed, they are now backing off of the letter.

From the Financial Times article.
Brussels has accused its internal market commissioner of going rogue by sending a letter to Elon Musk threatening punishment if content posted on social media site X was found to place EU citizens at risk of “serious harm”.
We thought the letter was just your typical progressive authoritarians’ standard template, considering the “serious harm” catchphrase – a phrase used by college students who “feel unsafe” when Ben Shapiro speaks at their campus. Turns out it was one person who went rogue (allegedly).
The article goes on to explain.
An EU official, who asked not to be named, said: “Thierry has his own mind and way of working and thinking.”
Oh that Thierry, he’s just so incorrigible!
We’d like to think that they are scared that they went too far and abused their positions to literally interfere in the U. S. elections.

The rest of the Tweet.
… wanting to maintain power. Trump has “said he would encourage Russia to “do whatever they want” to Nato members that do not spend enough on defence.” – This was not encouragement to Russia; it was encouragement to NATO members to pay their agreed upon share or there may be consequences. Only the dimmest of bulbs understood this differently.
It’s good to be wary of extremism, but progressives are always blind in their left eye. And as Gambare says, Trump’s threat to NATO wasn’t to hand them over to Russia but rather to pay their “fair share” – something every progressive understands in theory.
Objection! Assumes honor.
Spoiler – they are super weak. Exposing our throats to our enemies is a distinctive left-wing trait.
We love it!

All of the above. I wonder if Elon should cut Breton in for a portion of the revenue for generating traffic.
Karma for the Commies.
Fair.
Included for use of the underappreciated word “fishslapped”.
