"LEAVE X NOW: Meanwhile, EU institutions are coming under fire for continuing to rely on X to get their message out. “Elon Musk is an enemy of Europe. He despises our democracy, our rule of law, our values, and everything else that stands in the way of his greed,” said German S&D MEP Tiemo Wölken, whose party is a member of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s governing coalition. “For a long time, I was convinced it was better to engage in dialogue rather than leave the platform to become a far-right circus. But enough is enough.”

Time to walk: “Any organization remaining on X is directly supporting the network effects that keep people on it. When government organizations, politicians and other public figures leave, we take away Elon Musk’s power. This is why the European Commission, the Council and the Parliament should also stop using X,” Wölken said.
