> Elon Musk is being sanctioned for interfering in European elections

Speech isn’t interference. Only authoritarians try to take retaliatory actions against speech.



Certainly his speech is considered foreign interference in Europe, but since it hasn't been unlawful so far there aren't any actions.

Europe in general is pretty much law-based, so I don't expect arbitrary retaliatory actions.
