Elon Musk calls Spanish leader a fascist over social media restrictions for minors

Elon Musk has launched a series of personal attacks against Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Musk called Sánchez a 'totalitarian fascist,' a 'tyrant,' and a 'traitor to the Spanish people' after Spain announced a plan to ban social media for children under 16.

Some commentators are framing the dispute as part of a broader 'cold war' between the U.S. and Europe over how to regulate major tech platforms.
