The
billionaire tech mogul's comments came after the Taoiseach revealed new
legislation to crack down on hate speech after violent anti-immigrant rioting
Dublin.
Tech
billionaire Elon Musk says that Ireland's Taoiseach Leo Varadkar "hates
the Irish people."
Musk made
the comments on his own social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
It came in
response to a post where one user claimed the Irish government "want all
of your freedoms," after Varadkar announced new legislation to combat hate
speech.
Musk's
comments on X were followed by dozens of anti-Varadkar posts, many of which
were racist in tone.
On Thursday
afternoon a stabbing incident in Dublin saw three children and an adult injured
near a school, which some people blamed on the government's immigration policy.
Police say
right-wing agitators were behind violent protests which followed the
stabbing, bringing angry mobs onto the
streets of the city centre, burning vehicles and smashing windows amid a wave
of anti-immigrant sentiment.
Politicians
on all sides have condemned Thursday night's rioting.
