Elon Musk Calls Australian Government "Fascists" Over Misinformation Laws | Firstpost America

Elon Musk has sparked controversy by calling the Australian government "fascists" in response to new social media laws aimed at combating misinformation. The proposed legislation allows hefty fines—up to 5% of a company’s turnover—if platforms fail to regulate false or harmful content. Australian officials fired back, accusing Musk of inconsistently defending free speech only when it benefits him. The debate centers around balancing free expression with public safety, as the laws also empower a communications watchdog to enforce industry standards. This clash marks Musk's latest global battle with regulators over the limits of free speech on digital platforms.
