U.S. Government Joins Musk's Fight Against EU's $137M Fine on X
PLTR sits 80% above its 52-week low of $106.37 on light trading volume (0.1× avg).
Summary
The U.S. government has formally intervened in Elon Musk's legal battle against the EU's €120 million fine on X, with the DOJ filing an application to the EU's General Court to back X's dismissal bid. The DOJ argues the European Commission is overreaching by regulating U.S. companies not operating in its jurisdiction. This escalates the transatlantic regulatory conflict and could set a precedent for how EU digital rules apply to American tech firms. Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale previously backed Vice President JD Vance's criticism of the EU's approach, linking the company to this political fight. The outcome may influence regulatory risk for U.S. tech companies operating in Europe, though the direct financial impact on Palantir is unclear.
