Elon Musk defends Telegram's Pavel Durov after arrest in Paris, slams Zuckerberg

Hold onto your hats, folks! Elon Musk is back in the headlines, and this time, he’s playing the role of defender for none other than Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov. The tech world was buzzing Saturday after Durov was cuffed at a Paris airport, with French authorities claiming he allowed criminal activity to run wild on his encrypted messaging platform. And, of course, Musk didn’t waste a second jumping into the fray.

 

Musk, the king of controversy himself, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) with a simple but powerful message: “#FreePavel.” This hashtag dropped just hours after the Russian-born billionaire was nabbed by the authorities at Le Bourget airport, sparking debates about free speech, censorship, and the power of tech moguls.

But wait, there’s more! Musk, never one to shy away from a feud, didn’t stop at defending Durov. He fired shots at fellow social media tycoon Mark Zuckerberg, suggesting the Meta boss has been cozying up to censorship demands. Musk’s pointed barb came in response to a question about why Zuckerberg isn’t facing similar heat. His answer? “Because he already caved into censorship pressure.”

 

Musk didn’t pull any punches, accusing Zuckerberg of allowing child exploitation to thrive on Instagram while simultaneously giving governments secret access to user data. Meanwhile, Meta has always maintained that it complies with legal requests and insists both Messenger and WhatsApp are encrypted and secure. But in Musk’s world, it seems Zuck is guilty as charged.

Telegram founder’s arrest triggers Elon Musk’s support
Pavel Durov, who has made headlines as a staunch advocate for free speech, isn’t a stranger to controversy. This 39-year-old tech mogul, who built his fortune with VKontakte and Telegram, has long been a thorn in the side of governments worldwide, particularly in his homeland of Russia. Durov famously fled the country in 2014, refusing to hand over encrypted data to Russian officials, and has since been a vocal opponent of government overreach.

 

Telegram, known for its emphasis on privacy, has been in hot water before, especially with Russia. The app was blocked in 2018 after Durov refused to comply with a court order to share encryption keys but made a comeback in 2020 after the ban was lifted. Despite its reputation as a haven for privacy, Telegram has also faced criticism for allegedly allowing militants and criminals to operate in the shadows.

 

As for Durov, his estimated $15.5 billion fortune hasn’t kept him out of trouble. He insists that Telegram is a neutral platform, not a political player, and he’s committed to protecting user privacy at all costs. But with a slew of charges looming, including terrorism, narcotics, and even child pornography, Durov’s day in court is shaping up to be one for the books.

 

So, what’s next for Durov? He’s set to appear before a judge on Sunday, and with charges like these, you can bet this story is far from over. As for Musk, he’ll undoubtedly keep the drama alive on X, throwing shade and stirring the pot as only he can. Stay tuned-this tech showdown is just getting started!
