The gun control mob is on their heels after this dramatic move by Elon Musk.
He has gone all-in on protecting gun rights.
And he is using his power to achieve that goal in a way no one expected.
In the past few years, Elon Musk has gone from a quirky but relatively non-controversial entrepreneur, to one of the most aggressive and powerful advocates for liberty in the world.
Between his decision to buy Twitter in order to protect free speech on the platform, to his current defense of the right to bear arms, he is taking on some of the most controversial political fights.
This has earned him some powerful enemies in Australia, a country that implemented one of the most dramatic gun grabs in the ‘90s and has a rabidly anti-gun government.
Musk has gone on the offensive against Australian politicians who are keen on trying to stop resistance from the people of their country by suppressing their gun rights.
He is taking on politicians in a way that few have ever done before, and they are not happy about what he has to say.
According to MSN, “Elon Musk said an Australian senator should be jailed and suggested the country’s gun laws were meant to stop resistance against its ‘fascist government,’ escalating his battle over a court order to remove video posts of a bishop being stabbed.
“After Australia’s federal court told Musk’s platform X to temporarily stop showing video of a knife attack on an Assyrian bishop during a church service in Sydney a week earlier, Musk accused the country’s leaders of trying to censor the internet, prompting an outpouring of condemnation from lawmakers.
“One senator, Jacqui Lambie, deleted her X account on Tuesday to protest publication of the footage and called for other politicians to do the same, saying Musk had ‘no social conscience or conscience whatsoever.’ She added Musk should be jailed.”
The fact that Australian officials like Lambie want their political opponents in jail shows how autocratic Australia’s government has become.
The article continues, “Musk widened his attacks on Australia, including promoting a post from an unnamed but verified X user which said the country ‘disarmed all of their citizens in 1996 so that they cannot resist their fascist government,’ a reference to a gun buy-back and registration scheme after the country’s worst mass shooting.”
It’s hard to argue with the fact that suppressing resistance from the people plays a role in the rabidly anti-gun stance of Australian politicians.
After all, they have had some notorious examples of suppressing resistance from their citizens since then, most notable during the COVID pandemic with the extreme lockdowns they had in place.
Now, they are threatening to put Elon Musk, one of the most powerful people in the world, in jail for nothing more than his political speech.
If Australia succeeds at jailing Musk for supporting free speech and gun rights, then they have completely crossed the threshold into a fully autocratic government.
