Elon Musk set the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons yesterday when he alleged via tweet:

‘The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us. The other platforms accepted that deal. X did not.’

It was written in reply to a tweet by Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission EU Fit for Digital Age and Commissioner for Competition.
