A war of words has erupted between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the Australian government as well as a judge after the latter asked social media platform, X, to remove the videos related to a recent Sydney church attack. The government asked to take down all videos of the church episode wherein a teenager attacked a famous priest. It dubbed the videos “violent” and a threat to the safety of society.
Musk accused Australia of imposing censorship on free speech. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responded by describing Musk as an “arrogant billionaire” who considered himself above the law and was out of touch with the public.
