As per news report of The Indian Express, after meeting Musk in Texas on Monday, Thierry Breton, the EU’s internal market commissioner, said that he and the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer agreed on everything. “To tell you the truth, there was definitely no disagreement — none,” Breton told Bloomberg in an interview. Musk, who calls himself a free speech absolutist, has criticized Twitter’s content moderation policies. He has an agreement to buy the network for $44 billion, saying he will focus on “free speech” values. Breton previously warned that Twitter, even after a change of ownership, would have to comply with the EU’s new digital content rules.
