  • Elon Musk won a legal victory in Australia Monday about content moderation.  
  • The fight revolves around footage on X of a church stabbing in a Sydney suburb.
  • Musk, a self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist," is fighting on multiple international fronts.

An Australian court handed Elon Musk a victory Monday in what he described as an ongoing fight for "free speech."

The court ruled it would not extend a temporary block on footage posted to X of a church stabbing that occurred in a Sydney suburb on April 15.

X had opposed the block, which was initially ordered on April 22, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
