You're thinking of profit, not revenue

$2bn in 2022 for non-US. https://www.businessofapps.com/data/twitter-statistics/

Assume 80% of that is Europe, and a 25% drop in revenue since X, is $1.2bn, then 6% is $72m. This would likely be a daily fine of about $197K per day USD, minus shifty billionaire revenue reporting.
