Oh ffs, stop warning him, he already knows and still does not comply. He does not care. Just throw the hammer at him, this he will understand.
Don't worry, EU strikes very slowly, but hard.
checks watch. Again.
It's more of a calendar thing I'm afraid.

It's usually a small amount in the millions
Not necessarily in Europe, Google got multiples fines above a billion for example.
I’m just happy to see the EU take these important first steps towards actually punishing him and others like him. They’re the only governmental organization around the world that’s actually doing something thoughtful.
China has been doing it for years
Nothing thoughtful about blocking all the things you don’t like.
You're missing the part where Musk owns half of them. They meet privately with him to kiss his feet when they visit the UN
