The European Commission has told Elon Musk to provide documentation regarding changes to the recommendation system on X amid concern at the social media platform's influence on European politics, The Financial Times reported.
The move intensifies an investigation by Brussels into the platform.
The commission announced on Friday that its expanded inquiry requires X to submit internal documents about its recommendation algorithm.
The EU’s executive has also requested information about how the platform moderates and amplifies content.
The move follows complaints from German politicians alleging that X’s algorithm is amplifying far-right content ahead of the country’s February 23 elections.
Musk has publicly expressed support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, asserting that “only the AfD can save Germany.”
