Australian court upholds order for Musk's X to pay $418,000 fine over anti-child abuse probe

- Australian court upholds order for Elon Musk's X to pay a fine of A$610,500 for failure to cooperate with a regulator's request - X challenged the fine but the Federal Court of Australia ruled it was obligated to respond to a notice from the eSafety Commissioner - X argued it was not bound to respond because it was folded into a new Musk-controlled corporate entity - Accepting X Corp's argument could have set a concerning precedent for foreign companies avoiding regulatory obligations in Australia - eSafety has begun civil proceedings against X due to noncompliance - This is not the first conflict between Musk and the Australian internet safety regulator. Earlier this year, eSafety ordered X to remove posts, prompting a court battle.
