EU Commission has been “too slow’ in enforcing a major law intended to ensure good behaviour of social media companies, MEPs say.

Pressure on the Commission to act is growing as Musk prepares to host a livestream conversation with Alice Weidel .

The conversation with Musk , whose website claims he has 211.4 million followers, is seen as handing a significant advantage to the AfD.

The Commission would “carefully analyse” the Weidel-Musk conversation.

Spain added its voice to the governments of the UK , France and Germany , which have criticised Musk ’s hostile and often misleading tweets about European politics and society.

In one of his latest salvoes, Musk reposted an account that contained a screenshot of rape convictions in Catalonia .
