Vance Links NATO Support To EU Criticism Of Musk

“The leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, ‘We’re going to arrest you if you platform Donald Trump,’ who, by the way, is the likely next president of the United States.

“So what America should be saying is, if NATO wants us to continue supporting them and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don’t you respect American values and respect free speech?

“Excuse me. It’s insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn’t going to be pro-free speech. I think we can do both.

“But we’ve got to say American power comes with certain strings attached. One of those is respect free speech, especially in our European allies.” – J.D. Vance, speaking to podcaster Shawn Ryan.

Rather obviously, NATO and the EU are separate bodies that do not coordinate with each other on social media issues. And the EU has not, so far, threatened to arrest Elon Musk.
