When I look for the group "most likely to call Elon out on his (copious, regular) 'actual lies'", "EU politicians" isn't the group I go to.

Speaking of "actual lies", this is one.
> Firing back on X, the [European] commissioner [for Internal Market Thierry Breton] denied the existence of a secret deal and said no such bargain had been made with any other platforms:
> Be our guest @elonmusk
> There has never been — and will never be — any “secret deal”. With anyone.
> The DSA provides X (and any large platform) with the possibility to offer commitments to settle a case.
> To be extra clear: it’s YOUR team who asked the Commission to explain the process for settlement and to clarify our concerns.
> We did it in line with established regulatory procedures. Up to you to decide whether to offer commitments or not. That is how rule of law procedures work.
So I'm inclined to believe Elon lied, as he does with painful monotony. Especially when, oh yeah, when Elon and X were asked to respond to this... they didn't.
