Elon Musk and his social media company X have copped a dressing down from the royal commission into anti-Semitism for refusing to engage with the inquiry and letting hate speech run rampant.
Counsel assisting the anti-Semitism royal commission Richard Lancaster SC took aim at X - formerly Twitter - and other platforms that "simply refused" to assist the inquiry, and questioned whether X still had a social licence to operate in Australia.
"X Corp has demonstrated a complete lack of interest in providing transparency on a topic as important as keeping Australians safe from the proliferation of terrorist and violent extremist material, including extreme anti-Semitism," he said on Friday.
