[PJ Media] Thierry Breton, the European Union commissioner who tried to bully Elon Musk into banishing free speech from Twitter/X, resigned in shame from his post today.

Breton quit in an open letter where he accused European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of plotting against him. "You asked France to withdraw my name — for personal reasons that in no instance you have discussed directly with me — and offered, as a political trade-off, an allegedly more influential portfolio for France in the future College," he wrote.

The European Commission spokesperson stated that "the timing and wording" of Breton’s letter to Musk had not been coordinated with von der Leyen or other commissioners, in a response that was seen as a rebuke to the commissioner.

Translation: Breton embarrassed Brussels and had to be sidelined.

Similarly, neither the EU nor its member nations have ever had anything like America's First Amendment protection of free speech. That was fine before Elon Musk bought Twitter and began exporting free speech around the world. Meta could be fined into submission but not Musk, who paid an outrageous sum for Twitter in part because he believes free speech is more important than his net worth.
