1:28Now PlayingElon Musk slammed Australia’s prime minister on Tuesday after a court ordered his social media company X to remove footage of a terror attack against a Sydney cleric — arguing the decision could effectively allow one country to control “the entire internet.” NY Post reporter Ariel Zilber shares this story.
Musk has come under fire from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and government officials for not deleting the video showing a teenager stab a priest and two others last week.
X had geo-blocked the footage from its Australian users but did not delete the clip from its servers.
Australia’s e-Safety Commissioner argued the content should be taken down since it showed explicit violence.
“Does the PM think he should have jurisdiction over all of Earth?” Musk wrote on X.
The billionaire, who bought X in 2022 with a declared mission to save free speech, posted a meme on the platform that showed X stood for “free speech and truth” while other social media platforms represented “censorship and propaganda.”
Albanese hit back at Musk, saying the country would “do what’s necessary to take on this arrogant billionaire who thinks he’s above the law, but also above common decency.”
