After Elon Musk compared esafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant to a communist regime censor, politicians have lined up to label him an egotist and narcissist.
The Australian government has savaged Elon Musk as an egotist and narcissist as the online safety watchdog prepares to fight social media giant X over its refusal to remove videos of the western Sydney church stabbing.Albanese said it was extraordinary X, formerly Twitter, was not complying with the order andthe company was failing in their responsibility to uphold societal standards.
Albanese and Peter Dutton last week backed in a full-throated pursuit of tech giants over irresponsible moderation on their platforms. Echoing those sentiments on Monday, minister Tanya Plibersek said Musk was egotistical and cabinet colleague Murray Watt called the Tesla founder a narcissist.
Inman Grant last week used her powers to demand X and Meta take down distressing footage of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel being attacked during a live-streamed church service. X rejected the Australian regulator’s claims about the posts that were still on the platform while confirming it had received a take-down order.
