Aug 17, 2024, 07:35 AM

Elon Musk is facing criticism for allegedly amplifying racial hatred in the UK through his social media platform, X. Critics argue that Musk has replatformed individuals and groups known for spreading hate, such as Britain First and Patriotic Alternative, and has financially incentivized the escalation of hate speech. This has reportedly contributed to an increase in racial disorder in 2024. Musk's actions and omissions have been described as significant in extending the reach of racial hate, with accusations that he has been indifferent to removing hate content from the platform.
