Deutsche Welle interviewed Media Matters executive Julie Millican regarding the European Commission's decision to stop advertising on X. The report claims Musk has allowed conspiracy theories to "thrive" on the platform. The discussion suggests Musk is being hounded by both left and right-wing entities, potentially serving as a "heel" in a larger geopolitical game.

Julie Millican of Media Matters argues that Elon Musk has dismantled the "information ecosystem" on X by firing trust and safety teams. She claims the platform has become a "playground for extremists" and that the profit motive for spreading hate speech must be undermined. The discussion highlights the shift from Twitter being a place for "reliable information" to a site where engagement is incentivized through paid subscriptions.
