Elon Musk has sparked fresh controversy after promoting Citizen Vigilante, a violent film starring Armie Hammer, by making it free to watch on X for 48 hours. The film, directed by German filmmaker Uwe Boll, depicts a vigilante targeting migrants, police, and government officials, and gained widespread attention after Musk’s endorsement despite initially receiving little recognition.

The promotion has renewed scrutiny of Musk’s growing support for right-wing political figures and anti-immigration movements across Europe. Critics argue that his activity on X has amplified far-right narratives, including support for the concept of “remigration,” while some researchers claim his platform has become influential in spreading extremist viewpoints.

Musk has defended his actions by describing the film as worth watching and denying that Europe is beyond repair, though he continues to express concerns about immigration and public safety. Supporters view his stance as a defense of free speech, while critics warn that his influence is helping normalize divisive and extremist rhetoric across Europe.
