Elon Musk promotes German action film 'Citizen Vigilante' banned for xenophobia

Elon Musk, recognized as the first 'trillionaire' in history, is backing the budget-friendly German film 'Citizen Vigilante,' directed by Uwe Boll, which faced a ban in Germany due to allegations of xenophobia. Featuring Armie Hammer as Michael Sanders, a vigilante who targets migrants, Musk expressed his discontent with the German censorship by posting a temporary link on X (formerly Twitter) for 48 hours, highlighting its impressive 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The FSK refused to assign the film a rating, citing its advocacy for private justice. In Tichys Einblick, Boll defended the film against claims of censorship. Alt-right groups have promoted it on X, making it the most-viewed title on Amazon Prime in the US, despite severe critical backlash that may further jeopardize Hammer's career.
