EU regulators would not only factor in X's revenue when tallying a financial penalty, but also the revenue of Musk's other companies like SpaceX, Neuralink, xAI and Boring Company. According to Bloomberg 's report, Tesla's revenue would not be factored into the equation as it is a publicly traded company and not entirely controlled by Musk.

The EU is essentially debating whether Musk himself — instead of X — should face penalties for violating the EU’s Digital Services Act.
