Trump Declares War on Europe Because Elon Musk Got a $140 Million Timeout
KEY POINTS
- •The EU fined Elon Musk's X platform $140 million for misleading users and blocking researchers last Friday.
- •Trump called European countries 'decaying' and 'weak' while his admin, including Rubio and Vance, condemned the EU's punitive action.
- •Senator Ted Cruz demanded sanctions until the EU reversed the fine, escalating tensions amid fears of Europe's sidelining in Ukraine security talks.
The Trump administration turned EU's $140 million fine on Elon Musk's X into an international freakout, framing Europe as 'decaying' and hostile in a 2025 National Security Strategy hotter than Elon’s tweet storms. Trump called Europeans 'weak,' echoing Marco Rubio and Vice President Vance, who joined Musk’s #AbolishTheEU rally cry—because nothing unsettles diplomatic norms like a billionaire playground veto. Poland’s Foreign Minister shot back with Mars jokes mentioning Nazi salutes (because why not). Meanwhile, Sen. Ted Cruz demanded EU sanctions over social media censorship, turning an ad fine into a NATO trust fall gone wrong. Russia's spying popcorn ready as Putin’s mate Peskov cheers America and Russia teaming up to call Europe 'weak'—which sounds like the warmest bromance since The Office finale.
