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.
