Australia rejects Elon Musk's claim that it plans to control access to internet

Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers rejected Elon Musk's claim that the government planned to control internet access for all Australians. The government recently introduced legislation that would fine social media platforms, including Elon Musk's company X Corp, if they allow children under 16 to have social media accounts. Chalmers stated that Musk's criticism was not surprising and that their priority was to protect children online. The legislation could be passed as early as next week, and Musk suggested it was a way to control internet access. The ongoing tension between the Australian government and Musk involves regulators' efforts to mitigate public harm caused by social media.
