US backs Musk's court fight against EU's $137M fine on X

The move

The US Justice Department filed Thursday to support Elon Musk and X's bid to have the European Commission's €120 million ($137 million) Digital Services Act fine thrown out at the EU's General Court. The Commission issued the fine in December 2025 over X's paid blue-checkmark verification, its ad database and limits on researcher access to public data.

Why it matters

It turns one company's regulatory fight into a US-versus-EU dispute over who gets to police American tech platforms operating in Europe.

The bear case

The EU said Friday it's ready to defend the fine vigorously in court, and Washington's support doesn't change the transparency violations the Commission cited.

What to watch

Whether the EU General Court sets a hearing date for the joint challenge from X and Musk.

Investors keep betting on Tesla's robotaxi story, not car sales

The move

Tesla shares rallied roughly 6.75% over the past week. Robotaxi service now runs in seven U.S. metros, and active FSD subscriptions have reached 1.48 million, up 56% year over year. Tesla expects 2026 capital spending above $25 billion, rising further as it builds out Robotaxi, Optimus, chips and AI compute.

Why it matters

Even after Goldman Sachs cut its delivery estimates for the rest of the year, investors are pricing Tesla on autonomy and robots, not on how many cars it sells.

The bear case

Federal regulators are still investigating whether Tesla's steering-wheel-free Cybercabs comply with safety rules, and the robotaxi fleet remains small and geofenced to a handful of cities.

What to watch

The Tesla Roadster unveiling on Oct. 10.
