Australia's prime minister said Elon Musk is an 'arrogant billionaire who thinks he is above the law' over his reluctance to remove footage of last week's Church stabbing from X.

Australia's prime minister said Elon Musk is an 'arrogant billionaire who thinks he is above the law' over his reluctance to remove footage of last week's Church stabbing from X. In response, Elon Musk thanked him 'for informing the public that this platform is the only truthful one'. The spat comes after a week of legal battles and public arguments between X and the Australian government.

Now, Elon Musk has accused the eSafety commissar, whom he previously nicknamed the 'censorship commissar', of wanting to control the internet. 'Our concern is that if ANY country is allowed to censor content for ALL countries, what is to stop any country from controlling the entire Internet?' he posted on X. Anthony Albanese, the Australian prime minister, weighed in on the row during media rounds.
