Elon Musk has once again targeted Meta Platforms Inc.’s (NASDAQ:META) Instagram and Facebook, after Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) designer questioned why no formal proceedings have been conducted against the company. 

What Happened: On Monday, the EU officially launched an investigation into Musk’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter), citing potential Digital Service Act or DSA regulations violations, which include propagation of unlawful content, ineffectiveness in combating misinformation, transparency and potentially misleading layout of the platform’s interface.

Why It’s Important: This isn’t the first time Musk has targeted Mark Zuckerberg’s social media platforms. Previously, the tech mogul has also clapped back at advertisers like The Walt Disney Co. when a report accused Instagram of suggesting sexualized content of minors via Reels.

At the time, Musk hinted, that while his actions of sharing a debunked anti-semitic conspiracy theory on X, led to advertisers exodus from the platform, Meta has not received any such punishment despite allegations of the company’s social media sites involved in child sexual abuse. 

Meanwhile, Musk’s track record with Breton has also been rocky. In October this year, it was reported that the tech billionaire has considered removing X from Europe altogether in order to avoid the regulation rules and concerns.
