Elon Musk, the creator and CEO of SpaceX, criticized the Justin Trudeau administration in Canada for “crushing free speech” there. His statement was made in response to a recent Canadian government directive requiring official registration with the government for “regulatory controls” on online streaming services. Glenn Greenwald, a journalist and novelist, had commented on the decision in a post, to which Elon Musk was replying.
