Australian PM Calls Elon Musk "Arrogant Billionaire" | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Australia's prime minister Anthony Albanese has called Elon Musk an "arrogant billionaire" amid a standoff with X over last week's Sydney church attack. Regulators in Australia have asked X to take down videos of the attack over fears that it could trigger violence and divisions in the city. While Musk has hidden the footage in Australia, he has opposed doing the same in markets outside Australia. This standoff is among the many battles unfolding between governments and social media platforms across the world. In Pakistan, the government has banned X since February, citing a threat to national security and integrity. In the US, a new bill seeks to ban Chinese social media app TikTok over espionage fears. Should governments be empowered to curb and regulate social media? Who decides if the restrictions are valid? Palki Sharma tells you.

    It only highlights the great mental health problem we have in Australia. It starts at the top.

    Australia voters, don’t give up or compromise your freedoms. we as Australians need to be able to say whatever we feel like saying in a Democratic Country.
  • @Wraithss
    communists didn't go away, they just changed their name to liberals. That's your prime minister Australia.
  • Hey folks has anyone been following the recent developments in the money markets?
  • @marius5498
    Anyone has the right to protest and there is no law that gives or does not give permission to protest! It's like you want to protest against a corrupt government and that corrupt government doesn't give you "permission"? Protesting is a right and does not need anyone's approval!

    With that logic of banning videos of violence on social media as they would influence children, even action movies and video games should be banned. Personally this is just word play by politicians to extend their cause and take attention away from larger and more important problems.
  • The hubris spewing from Albo knows no bounds. Albo is known in Australian as an angry ant, here the dunderhead wants X to take down footage that was broadcast by every major Australian television network. Takes a special kind of stupid.
  • I am sorry to hear that Elon Musk pulled his investment out of India. Mr. Musk is a wise man.

    Oh that old railway connection idea which was floated before the Great War. Remembering in that war the German, Austro Hungarian and Ottoman Empires were crushed. It is difficult to move forward when people refuse to open history books and understand why things went poorly in the past.

    Love you from SOWETO🇿🇦🇿🇦 watching and listening to her speak is mind healing
  • I don't know about these corridors...I'd say Europe has had an absolute gutsful with the "diversity" that has happened over the last decade or so, some European nations are now so multi-cultural with special interest minorities causing chaos and social unrest, trying to push their ideologies onto the very nations that let them in. That's gratitude for you. If you come, you assimilate, obey the laws, and don't make your problems everyone else's problems.

    Don’t let these small small people intimidate you Elon. You’re my favorite billionaire because you stand for what you believe and don’t give into bribery because you rely on yourself because you can get it yourself.
