Australia\u2019s politicians are facing off against billionaire Elon Musk.\xa0

The federal government's renewing its focus on social media misinformation and harm after two violent stabbing attacks in Sydney.\xa0

Australian Correspondent Murray Olds told Mike Hosking that Musk ridiculed the suggestion that the eSafety Commissioner has any power over the internet, him, and X.\xa0

He said that while he agrees that most would argue that this kind of content shouldn\u2019t be available online, if Musk acquiesces to Albanese, who else does he have to acquiesce to?\xa0
