Billionaire can ‘flex his muscles in the US’ but would have to follow Brussels laws, says Deirdre Clune
When Mr Musk tweeted that “the bird is freed” at the time of his purchase of Twitter, referring to the Twitter’s bird logo, Mr Breton, the commissioner for the internal market, replied: “In Europe, the bird will fly by our EU rules.”
Speaking more broadly about lay-offs in the tech sector, including at Facebook parent company Meta, Ms Clune said the implications for Ireland were “not huge”. Meanwhile, Fine Gael MEP Colm Markey called for increased support for indigenous start-ups to ensure Ireland’s tech sector is not exposed to further global risks.
