Be our guest @elonmusk ⚖️🇪🇺 There has never been — and will never be — any “secret deal”.  With anyone.  The DSA provides X (and any large platform) with the possibility to offer commitments to settle a case.  To be extra clear: it's *YOUR* team who asked the Commission to explain the process for settlement and to clarify our concerns.  We did it in line with established regulatory procedures.  Up to you to decide whether to offer commitments or not.  That is how rule of law procedures work.  See you (in court or not).
