Elon Musk Promoted Vigilante Film Shows Murder of Entire Migrant Family
What was said
"Elon Musk is sharing— you know, he's retweeting people saying, 'This is the moderate response.' That's what he retweeted. The moderate response to murder an entire family. He retweeted another guy who said, 'Hang the traitors first,' i.e., the white judges, which is what the guy in the movie does, 'and then kill the invaders,' or kill the criminals."
Media commentator Mehdi Hasan revealed that Elon Musk has been actively promoting the controversial film Citizen Vigilante by retweeting users who described the movie's climactic scene—where the protagonist murders an entire Syrian refugee family—as a 'moderate response.' Musk's promotion to his 240 million followers has propelled the film to number one on Apple and Amazon digital purchase charts. The film's finale shows Armie Hammer's character executing a father, mother, son, and daughter over the son's alleged crimes, with no legal process.
