The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news.
This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them.
Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda

One of Canada's most celebrated painters, he was one of the Group of Seven and a pivotal figure in the development of Canadian art in the early-20th century.
