Australia’s politicians are facing off against billionaire Elon Musk.

The federal government's renewing its focus on social media misinformation and harm after two violent stabbing attacks in Sydney.

He said that while he agrees that most would argue that this kind of content shouldn’t be available online, if Musk acquiesces to Albanese, who else does he have to acquiesce to?
