"Thierry Breton, the European commissioner for the internal market, said in a letter addressed to Musk on Tuesday that his office has “indications” that groups are spreading misinformation and “violent and terrorist” content on X, and urged the billionaire to respond within a 24-hour period."

Sounds like it's just a strongly worded letter.

A bit below that it says that they're also threatening fines of 6% of annual revenue.

Hadn't read the actual letter. It would be interesting to know what the specific request they have is.

You have to have revenue in order to be fined 6% of it.

Doesn't that only come into effect at the beginning of 2024?

If I understand correctly it's a gradual rollout.
