Elon Musk receives warning from the EU to ‘obey its rules’ after Twitter purchase

Friday marked Elon Musk’s first day at the helm of global social media giant Twitter and fans, followers and critics around the world are hanging at the edge of their seats to see how the world’s richest man will handle the new responsibility.

After securing the company at a $44 million bid after months of anticipation, the Tesla boss has now started to hint at plans for the platform, stating ‘”the bird is freed” on Thursday.

Musk had stated that he made the purchase ‘to help the humanity he loves’, concerning activists across the globe who fear a sharp increase in harassment and misinformation.

European Union internal market commissioner Breton tweeted “In Europe, the bird will fly by our rules”, sending a message to Musk that Twitter will not go on a rampage within the European Union.
