The beef between Maduro and Musk has grown following contested
election results that saw the Venezuelan President confirming his
mandate for six more years.
From his X account, Musk dismissed the victory as a "major election
fraud," with Maduro accusing the billionaire of "inciting hate."
"Elon Musk is the owner of X and has violated all the rules of the
social network itself," said Maduro in a speech at a pro-government demonstration - Al Jazeera reported - before signing off the decree
for the 10-day ban.
