Elon Musk nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for ‘Free Speech’
Washington D.C.: Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO and head of the Department of Government Efficiency for the United States, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his free speech advocacy.
European Parliament member Branko Grims has confirmed that a petition for Elon Musk's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been submitted to the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
The nomination was in recognition of Musk's contributions to the fundamental human right of freedom of speech and peace, Grims said in his Facebook post.
When acquiring X, formerly Twitter, the Telsa CEO had pushed the idea that he was doing so for free speech. The billionaire explained his meaning of free speech at the time, "By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.”
The winners will be announced in October after the Nobel Committee chooses the Nobel Prize laureates through a majority vote.
