Elon Musk boosted the controversial film “Citizen Vigilante”, directed by German director Uwe Boll and starring Armie Hammer, sharing a video of the entire film and boosting posts praising the movie, which has been banned in Germany for its depiction of violence against immigrants.
Elon Musk has boosted several far-right anti-immigration European commentators on X in the past few months despite facing criticism from lawmakers in the continent.
Citizen Vigilante, which was released last week in theaters, is a movie set in Europe that depicts its leading character as a vigilante who has taken it upon himself to kill criminal immigrants and corrupt government officials.
The movie was not granted an age certification in Germany, effectively banning it from theaters.
Boll has attacked the effective ban in Germany, calling it censorship, and saying he was told the film was not granted a rating for “inciting violence against migrants.”
