• Elon Musk (the richest man in the world, owner of social network X) and Mark Zuckerberg (president of Meta) are using their platforms to influence European politics, spread misinformation, and favor the right-wing agenda.
• These tycoons are encouraging, and benefiting from, political destabilization in the EU under the guise of ultra-liberalism, thereby putting democracy at risk.
• Brussels has shown a weak reaction, primarily concerned with the transatlantic relationship instead of protecting the liberties of its citizens.
• In addition to external influence, there are also internal threats such as a potential agreement between Italy and SpaceX that could undermine efforts to develop a secure European satellite network.

Conclusion: There's an urgent need for Europe to safeguard its digital sovereignty and the EU needs to take more decisive actions, promoting European companies and technologies, and applying harsh measures against platforms violating community rules.
