Billionaire businessman Elon Musk has weighed in on the federal government’s latest edict that podcast producers that earn revenue of $10 million or more must now register with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

“Trudeau is trying to crush free speech in Canada. Shameful,” Mr. Musk posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Oct. 1, sharing a post that included a link to the news release from the Canadian government detailing the new requirement unveiled Sept. 29 as part of Bill C-11.
