Honestly, while I don’t mind legal proceedings against Elon, the best thing the EU or any European government could do would be to start using alternatives to Twitter.
If they’d spin up their own mastodon instance and politicians, institutions and parties would start exclusively posting their statements there, then journalists would have to follow them and news organisations would also start linking those instead.
Twitter isn’t as big here anyways, but doing that could imo make it even less so.

It’s slowly becoming a thing yes.
Yeah the police in Norway used to post all their ops messages on twitter. But now has a self developed platform they use.
It’s probably going to go that way for a lot of stuff.
