"Musk's scathing attack on PM Pedro Sanchez comes after he announces strict new regulations for social media platforms. Tech billionaire and owner of X, Elon Musk, has dubbed socialist Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez a tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain for introducing new social media curbs for children under the age of 16. Musk's comments on Tuesday came in response to an announcement by the Spanish prime minister that Madrid would introduce new changes to the country's social media laws."
"The proposed measures include a ban on social media for children under 16 and a new legal framework to hold tech executives criminally liable for illegal content. Sanchez also confirmed that the government would work with the public prosecutor to investigate alleged legal infringements by platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, and Musk's own AI chatbot, Grok. Dirty Sanchez is a tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain, Musk wrote in response to the Spanish prime minister's X post, in which he detailed the upcoming measures."
"Grok has come under fire for allowing users to create sexually explicit fake images of women and minors, triggering an investigation by the European Commission. The world's richest man has been accused of platforming far-right and white supremacists, particularly in Europe. He has addressed a political rally of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the German city of Halle."
Spain will introduce measures banning social media use for children under 16 and establishing a legal framework to hold tech executives criminally liable for illegal content. The government will coordinate with the public prosecutor to investigate alleged legal infringements by platforms including TikTok, Instagram, and Musk's AI chatbot Grok. Grok faces scrutiny for enabling sexually explicit fake images of women and minors, prompting a European Commission investigation. Elon Musk responded by calling Pedro Sánchez a tyrant and traitor. Madrid is leading a coalition of six European countries to coordinate cross-border enforcement amid wider EU moves to restrict minors' access.
