The owner of the social network X Elon Musk called Pedro Sanchez a “tyrant“ and “fascist“.
The billionaire's attack came just hours after the Spanish Prime Minister announced that the government intends to ban access to social networks for those under 16.
“Dirty Sanchez is a tyrant and a traitor to the Spanish people“, Musk wrote in a post on X, citing a video in which the Prime Minister announces new projects and explicitly criticizes the artificial intelligence project Grok, for creating illegal sexual content.
Earlier, Sanchez presented a package of measures aimed at combating abuses by large digital platforms. Among the proposed changes is that platform executives be held legally liable for violations of Spanish law. This is the second verbal clash in just a few days between the world's richest man and the Spanish prime minister. Last week, Sanchez responded to a post by Musk criticizing the legalization of migrant status with the phrase: “Mars can wait, humanity cannot“.
