Elon Musk mulling removing X from Europe over EU's regulations

MOSCOW, Oct 19: US billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is considering removing his social networking service X (formerly known as Twitter) from Europe amid the European Union's investigation into compliance with the Digital Services Act (DSA), Sputnik quoted Business Insider report Wednesday.

Musk is increasingly frustrated with having to comply with the EU's regulation, a source told the media, adding that the entrepreneur has discussed the removal of the X application's availability in the region or blocking users in the EU from accessing the app - the way Meta (banned in Russia for extremism) is blocking users in Europe from accessing its Treads app.
