Citizen Vigilante,” a film by German director Uwe Boll starring Armie Hammer, depicts an American vigilante in Europe targeting police, judges, and immigrants in a violent crusade against Muslim migrants and “woke” officials. Initially overlooked, the film gained attention when Elon Musk made it free to view on his social media platform X, briefly topping streaming charts. Musk’s actions reflect his growing interest in extreme right-wing ideas, using his influence to amplify these beliefs. Since acquiring X, formerly Twitter, Musk has relaxed content moderation, allowing far-right views to flourish. His social media activity shows a focus on race, often sharing messages from white nationalist sources. Musk has also expressed support for European far-right politicians like Marine Le Pen. This shift in Musk’s public persona raises questions about the impact of his platform on political discourse.
