The new Irish hate speech law will carry a penalty of five years in prison, potentially even for memes, thanks to the hard work of Soros-funded NGOs skewing the data to present one of the most tolerant societies as anything but.
X (formerly Twitter) CEO Elon Musk announced on Wednesday, August 23rd, that his company will sue partners of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) after the NGO network was accused of spreading “hate misinformation” to justify an unprecedented crackdown on free speech.
In his tweet, Musk was reacting to an article by Ben Scallan, an Irish-Jamaican journalist and commentator, in which he claims that OSF-linked leftist NGOs are manipulating the statistics to show a steep rise in hate crimes across Ireland—despite the government’s own data proving the opposite is true—which is then being used to usher in a new hate speech law that’s designed to restrict freedom and open up new pathways for political persecution.
“Ireland is not only a tolerant society, but it was even a victim of British colonialism and ethnic bias historically itself,” Scallan reminded his readers. “Why is such a seemingly friendly nation undergoing such an unprecedented assault on its freedom?”
The article was shared on X by Michael Shellenberger, another journalist best known for his prominent role in uncovering the Twitter Files, noting that “the reason [politicians and Soros-funded NGOs] are spreading hate misinformation is to justify a draconian crackdown on free speech.”
To this, Elon Musk simply replied, “Exactly. X will be filing legal action to stop this. Can’t wait for discovery to start!”
