Oh but we are allies! The USA will never ever use the information gathered on allies for their own profit!
Also Twitter (Trump/Musk) would never push for regime changes in Europe.

Stop. This is stupid. People are allowed to have opinions on politics in other countries. Every other country in the world sure as hell isn’t shy about opining on US elections. Then you want to act all indignant if the US opines on your elections? Fuck off.
The thing is that Elon Musk is not just some guy with an opinion. He's some guy who has an opinion and owns a major social media platform where he tweaks the algorithm to serve his own purposes, similar to what TikTok is being accused of.
Donald Trump also created his own media platform. It's a pillar of the cult. Without them, they can't keep people fearful and misinformed.

Yeah, and a lot of people opining on US elections had media platforms of their own, or were heads of state or otherwise influential.

Too bad. Sucks that you got beat at your own game.

I was talking about what agendas the powers that control the TikTok/Twitter/Meta might have, not (only) protesting the opinion.

And in this case they are known to be exceptionally ruthless and part of Trump's administration.
