Elon Musk has said that his company X, previously known as Twitter, will fund Irish legal challenges to hate speech legislation.

In an interview with Gript, Mr Musk said X’s default position is that it will challenge any laws it believes would infringe upon someone’s ability to “say what they want to say”.
