The DSA isn’t the real danger for twitter. That would be NetzDG. From April, 2023: The law, known colloquially as NetzDG, allows for fines of up to €50 million per case. … Even just in Germany if the BfJ were to act on the 600+ illegal hate speech cases that have already been reported to it that could sum to fines of up to €30 billion for Twitter, based on the maximum penalties set out in the NetzDG law.
