JD VanceĀ has suggested that American support forĀ NATOĀ should be predicated on theĀ European UnionĀ not regulatingĀ Elon MuskĀ and hisĀ X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter.

The Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio senatorĀ claimed in an interview with YouTuber Shawn Ryan that a top EU official had threatened to arrest the billionaire if he allowed former PresidentĀ Donald Trumpback on X.

ā€œThe leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union,Ā but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, ā€˜Weā€™re going to arrest you if you platform Donald Trump,ā€™ who, by the way, is the likely next president of the United States,ā€ Vance said in the interview published last week.

    Because nothing says freedom, and for the common human, like threatening to leave a defense pact over a private corporation. Fuck these guys to the fucken core. I am fucken over corporations having such power. Iā€™m about willing to send us back to the stone age just to wipe their wealth. Fuck it. We can all go down if you want to be an eternal cunt to the rest of humanity.
