Tech mogul Elon Musk has taken aim at Germany's ZDF TV, sparking a heated debate over free speech and media accountability. In a strongly-worded letter, Musk condemned the broadcaster's alleged "outrageous lies" and demanded they cease their coverage. ZDF has since responded with a "cease and desist" letter of their own, signaling a deepening rift between the billionaire entrepreneur and the German media outlet. The exchange raises questions about the limits of free speech and the role of media in holding powerful figures to account.
