At a time when calls for the EU to respond to Musk’s actions are multiplying, the question of whether, why, and how the EU may react remains largely unanswered. What makes Musk’s conduct problematic under EU law? Is it a matter of disinformation, electoral integrity, foreign influence, unprecedented market concentration, or possible abuse of power? Or is it all of the above, or a combination of these factors?

This edited volume unpacks whether and how (EU) law may tackle the existence and exercise of unprecedented plutocratic power. The authors explore a multitude of legal avenues, from freedom of speech to competition law, technology law, data protection to corporate taxation.
