TECH - 'Enemy Of People:' Elon Musk Slams Australian Senator After She Calls Tesla CEO 'Absolute Friggin Disgrace' | Benzinga
Elon Musk has escalated his conflict with the Australian government, advocating for the incarceration of a senator and voicing criticism of Australia’s gun laws. This follows a court directive to remove a violent video from his social media platform, X.
What Happened: On Tuesday, an X user posted a clip of Australian Sen. Jacqui Lambie who deleted her X account and encouraged other politicians to follow suit. Lambie criticized Musk for his lack of social conscience and suggested he should be jailed.
"…quite frankly, the power that that man has because of that platform that he's on, it's got to stop. It has absolutely got to stop. But leaving that out for our kids to see, for people that were family and friends out there and just letting that run on there, once again, that bloke has no conscience. He's an absolute friggin disgrace, and there's nothing else to say about Elon Musk," Lambie said.
Musk responded to the post, saying, “Absolutely. She is an enemy of the people of Australia.”
