The European Union is considering expanding its investigation into whether Elon Musk's social media network X breached its content moderation rulebook, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing the bloc's tech policy chief.

Musk has spent the last few weeks engaged in a campaign against various European governments. The most dramatic conflict has involved Musk’s war on Keir Starmer in Britain, though Musk has also spent a significant amount of time promoting a far-right political party in Germany that is said to have ties to neo-Nazis.

The European Commission has intensified its investigation into Elon Musk's social media network, X, concerning potential breaches of EU content moderation rules. The Commission has requested internal documentation and information on recommender systems from X amid accusations of political interference by Musk.

Musk's X is suspected of manipulating the platform's systems to give far-right posts and politicians greater visibility over other political groups.

Elon Musk is expected to speak at a Make America Great Again Victory Rally in Washington, D.C. He previously has delivered remarks at other President-elect Donald Trump events, including a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden.

The rally in downtown Washington on the day before Trump's inauguration ceremony will also feature Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock and Village People.
