In the past, the EU has not hesitated to try to apply European law to tech companies. Over the past decade, for example, Google has faced three fines totaling more than $8 billion for breaking antitrust law (though one of these fines was overturned by the EU’s General Court in 2024).

The Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk is making another hiring pushing, asking for "world-class talent" to apply.

In addition to being the world’s richest man, the CEO of multiple companies and a key adviser to President Donald Trump, Elon Musk says he is also a world-class video game player. It is a claim that Musk has repeated through the years.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk addressed a rally for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on Saturday, urging attendees to move on from past guilt related to the country's Nazi history. Newsweek has contacted Musk via an email to Tesla for comment.
