Forbes StaffIn a recent post, Elon Musk responded to the case and supported Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.
Since the last couple of days, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has garnered headlines, for he was arrested from outside an airport in Paris and was detained for several offenses, including money laundering, receiving stolen goods, terrorism, fraud, and the supply of drugs.
Netizens speculate about the involvement of the Joe Biden administration in the Telegram CEO’s arrest.
After Telegram CEO Pavel Durov was detained outside an airport in Paris for several offenses and charges, theories have been doing rounds on the internet, including one theory of the role Joe Biden’s administration could have played behind the arrest. Among the charges mentioned above, the French authority also imposed charges of allowing alleged illegal activity on the Telegram app.
Elon Musk supports Pavel Durov.
Elon Musk, billionaire and owner of the social media app X, recently came in support of Telegram’s CEO Pavel Durov and said that there is a “possibility” that the Joe Biden administration could have been involved in the arrest. In a post shared on X by American commentator and writer Tucker Carlson, who, in an interview with former US State Department official Mike Benz, talked in detail about the subject, asking if the Biden administration was involved in the arrest of Durov, Musk reposted the post and wrote “A concerning possibility.” In another post, Musk reposted the news of Durov’s arrest and wrote, “POV: It’s 2030 in Europe, and you’re being executed for liking a meme.”
Many other free-speech activists came forward to show their support for Pavel Durov and criticized the actions of the French authority. However, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Durov’s arrest was not politically motivated.
