After a month away I've decided not to come back to X. I will keep this account open to ensure it doesn't get cloned. The transformation of this platform into a megaphone for one person (never mind his views, which I do mind) is a step too far. Find me on BSky! Thanks & bye

Has Elon Musk now become Too Big To Regulate, at least for the EU? Europe already relies on Musk to fight in Ukraine, launch satellites and decarbonise. Now he is also Trump's right-hand tech bro. Can Europe still take him on? My Charlemagne this week economist.com/europe/2024/11…
