Musk brands Australian government 'fascists' after they try to fine tech giants that fail to stem misinformation
Briefly

Tech mogul Elon Musk has criticized Australia's new "combating misinformation" bill, labeling the government as "fascists" and expressing strong opposition to their regulations on social media.
Government Services Minister Bill Shorten responded to Musk's remarks by stating, "Elon Musk has had more positions on free speech than the Kama Sutra," highlighting the inconsistency in Musk's advocacy for free speech.
Commenting on the rise of "toxicity and hate" on social media post-Musk's takeover, eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant indicated significant concerns regarding content moderation and platform safety.
Musk's often contradictory approach to free speech has drawn criticism from various politicians and institutions, suggesting that his support is conditional and influenced by personal or business interests.
