Musk Forces German Broadcaster To Retract Belfast Riots Claim. Elon Musk has forced German broadcaster ZDF to retract a claim that he encouraged anti-migrant violence during the Belfast riots. The dispute centred on a ZDF programme that alleged Musk had called for a “hunt for migrants” after unrest erupted in Northern Ireland. Through his lawyers, Musk sent a cease-and-desist letter challenging the broadcaster’s claims. ZDF confirmed it removed the disputed wording and added a disclaimer explaining the change was made for legal reasons. Musk’s lawyer called the allegation defamatory and described the outcome as a legal victory. The riots saw attacks on property linked to migrant communities and several nights of disorder in Belfast. Musk had reposted comments about the protests on X and urged people to protest “repeatedly and loudly” to bring about change. After the broadcaster linked him directly to the violence, Musk accused ZDF of spreading “outrageous lies” and launched legal action.
