General Court

Uh, the second of our three Elon Musk docket items, uh, is, uh, a rather unusual one in that it does not involve any court in the United States.

Uh, the Department of Justice, uh, a day or two ago filed an application to intervene in a case before the General Court of the Court of Justice of the European Union, uh, in which, uh, Elon Musk and X, uh, or X meaning the company, not meaning his son, uh, se- are seeking to overturn a decision of the European Commission that found them liable for violations of the European Union's Digital Services Act and imposed a fine of 120 million euros.

Now, what, what's interesting here is not, uh, necessarily the specific legal issues involved, but the fact that a DOJ is going to bat in a foreign country for, uh, US, uh, tech companies.

And it-- we don't really know whether this is something f- uh, US tech companies in general or just kind of a, a favor for Elon Musk.
