Austin (USA) – Elon Musk criticised the President of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, on social media, calling him a «tyrant» in response to the leader’s actions to restrict access to social media for those under 16 years old and to impose regulations on digital platforms. Musk posted on X that «Dirty Sánchez is a dictator and a traitor to the Spanish people,» referring to a video in which the leader presents new measures and criticises Musk’s artificial intelligence project, Grok, for generating «illegal sexual content.» Musk’s comments come on the same day that Sánchez announced that Spain would ban access to social media for those under 16 and take steps to intensify control over digital platforms, making their executives accountable for violations on their networks. Sánchez made this announcement during his speech at the plenary session of the Global Government Summit in Dubai, which is attended by around thirty heads of state and government.
