Musk to sue German state broadcaster ‘for lies’ Elon Musk is taking legal action against German state broadcaster ZDF for falsely claiming he incited anti-migrant violence in Northern Ireland. ZDF admitted its presenter’s wording was imprecise after Musk posted that legal action was being taken for “outrageous lies.” The dispute stems from ZDF’s coverage of anti-immigration unrest in Belfast following a stabbing attack, where the presenter alleged Musk, alongside Tommy Robinson, called for migrants to be hunted.
