Elon Musk's X Escapes EU Gatekeeper Designation

Elon Musk's X will not be classified as a gatekeeper under the EU's Digital Markets Act, sparing it from extensive obligations. The European Commission will make this official next week following an investigation initiated in May. Insiders shared this information on Thursday.

In a significant development, Elon Musk's X has narrowly avoided being designated as a gatekeeper under the European Union's stringent Digital Markets Act.

Under the Act, companies classified as gatekeepers are subject to a comprehensive list of regulatory obligations, a scenario that X will now avoid.

The European Commission, which initiated an investigation into the matter in May, is set to announce its decision next week, according to sources familiar with the situation.
