Elon Musk’s increasingly strident tweeting about European politics has caused serious alarm in Brussels and national capitals across the continent.

Many in the EU have blasted Musk 's missives as a form of dangerous foreign interference.

They are especially worried it could give a boost to populist parties in upcoming elections.

MEPs have urged the European Commission to enforce the EU 's Digital Services Act (DSA) more strictly against Musk .

EU concentrates most of its meddling on Central and Eastern Europe .

From 2017 onwards, Brussels began imposing various sanctions on Poland .

Viktor Orbán’s right-wing Hungarian government has similarly become a whipping boy of the EU .

Brussels is plainly the far greater threat to democracy and national sovereignty.
