Fight means here: Influence the political landscape in Europe how Musk is already starting. So not lobbying but spreading opinion/propaganda etc like Russia and China are doing to change the election outcomes. We are allowed to self-determine us. But that would mean kick out X, Youtube, FB, Instagram, etc. Good luck explaining that your social media addicted relatives. Tarifs etc, will just backfire into the revenues of the US economics.

> But that would mean kick out X... See what happened in Brazil, and we are a 2x larger market just in population, 8x in GDP. That is the entire point of the EU. We are too big to ignore together. 345M in the US vs. 449M in the EU. “Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”
