Elon Musk has launched legal action against German public broadcaster ZDF after the network aired a report linking him to anti-migrant unrest in Belfast, a claim the broadcaster has since partially retracted and amended.
The dispute centers on a June 12 episode of ZDFheute Live, which examined the role social media played in fueling riots in Northern Ireland following a stabbing attack allegedly committed by a Sudanese asylum seeker. During the broadcast, a presenter stated that a "racist mob" had gone on a hunt for migrants and suggested that such actions had been encouraged by British far-right activist Tommy Robinson and Musk.
