埃隆·马斯克通过其社交媒体平台X免费发布了一部极右电影，进一步扩大了他在欧洲的政治影响力。这部名为《公民警察》（Citizen Vigilante）的影片由德国导演乌韦·博尔执导，美国演员阿米·汉默主演，宣传了对移民和政府的暴力内容[1]。马斯克在6月将这部预算200万美元的电影免费发布了48小时[1]，该片后来通过流媒体获得约60万美元的收入[1]。
马斯克近期在X平台上加大了对欧洲极右翼政党和活动人士的支持力度[1]。他公开表示支持法国国民联盟领导人玛丽娜·勒庞，称"她是法国最后的希望"[1]。同时，马斯克在该平台持续传播关于移民替换理论、反穆斯林和种族主义的内容[1]。在接受《经济学人》采访时，马斯克声称英国内战"不可避免"，并坚持认为存在"失控的强奸和谋杀"[1]。他还表示，"如果一个庞大且快速增长的群体的信仰与西方信仰相悖，最终会有清算"[1]。
研究机构统计显示，X平台上至少有4000条帖子回复呼吁针对马斯克及相关人士的暴力行为[1]。这些举动发生在2022年马斯克完全收购推特并更名为X之后，期间他删除了许多内容审核规则[1]。
Elon Musk released a far-right film promoting violence against immigrants and government through his social media platform X, marking an escalation in his support for extremist movements across Europe.[1] The film, titled "Citizen Vigilante," was directed by German filmmaker Uwe Boll and starred actor Armie Hammer, and Musk made it available for free for 48 hours in June.[1] Despite a production budget of $2 million, the film generated approximately $600,000 in streaming revenue following its initial release.[1]
Musk's promotion of the film reflects a broader pattern of amplifying far-right content and political figures on X since his complete acquisition of Twitter in 2022, when he removed numerous content moderation rules.[1] He has publicly endorsed French National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, describing her as "France's last hope," while simultaneously spreading immigration replacement theory, anti-Muslim rhetoric, and racist material across the platform.[1] Research documented approximately 4,000 replies to posts by Musk, Lowe, and Robinson calling for violence.[1]
His stated views have grown increasingly extreme. In an interview with The Economist, Musk claimed a British civil war was "inevitable" and insisted that "out of control rape and murder" existed in the country.[1] Regarding Muslims, he declared: "If a large and rapidly growing group's beliefs are fundamentally at odds with Western beliefs, ultimately there will be a reckoning."[1]
