The European Commission has determined that Elon Musk's X will not be regulated under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), despite meeting user thresholds. This decision exempts the platform from the DMA's operational rules, which aim to ensure fair practices among Big Tech. The Commission cited that X is not a significant gateway for businesses to reach users, marking a blow to Musk's ambitions. While this frees X from potential penalties, the platform still faces scrutiny under the Digital Services Act, with ongoing investigations into compliance breaches. The EU will continue to monitor X's market position.
