> "Do you see a rise of hate speech?" Mr Musk said. "I don't."

> He asked our reporter James Clayton for specific examples of hateful content.

> When he couldn't pinpoint individual messages, Mr Musk said: "You don't know what you're talking about… you just lied.

That is hilarious, thanks for the article.

And I don't see examples of crimes committed by X or Musk in there?

Ah, the ever popular "hey, can you re-create Einstein's theory of relativity for me right now? No? I guess physics must be fake, then" argument, popular with bad-faith conversationalists of all stripes.

Links from the BBC article you appear to have missed: "Antisemitism on Twitter Before and After Elon Musk’s Acquisition"[1] "The Musk Bump: Quantifying the rise in hate speech under Elon Musk"[2]

Again, where are the alleged crimes committed by Musk according to the GP comment?

> But there are both in-depth studies and anecdotal evidence that suggest hate speech has been growing under Mr Musk's tenure.

> Several fringe characters that were banned under the previous management have been reinstated.

> They include Andrew Anglin, founder of the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website, and Liz Crokin, one of the biggest propagators of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

From that same hilarious article.

Those people are not billionaires, so why haven't they been prosecuted if, as you allege, they have committed crimes.

Anglin is literally on the run from the law and has an arrest warrant issued for him.
