Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz announced her departure from the social media platform X following reports that Elon Musk's gesture during Trump's inauguration resembled a Nazi salute. She expressed concern over Musk's rhetoric, highlighting a commitment to avoid participating in platforms that promote xenophobic ideas and support extreme right-wing ideologies. Diaz's decision and statements underline the intersection of social media usage, political rhetoric, and the responsibility of public figures in shaping discourse.
"I made this decision, which I know is complicated, but I will not be part of a social network based on the use of algorithms that encourage xenophobic ideas, against human rights and encourage the extreme right in the world," Deputy PM Diza told.
Diaz announced her departure from X after multiple media outlets reported Musk's gesture was similar to the Nazi salute.
