The well-known French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo yesterday published an issue “tribute” to the world’s richest man.

The well-known French weekly satirical magazine has created an issue for this week’s issue that, for its contributors, is a “tribute to our perspective on freedom of expression”.

The publication with the sharpest cartooning in the world even published, in addition to its usual practice, the entire series of sketches that “decorate” its tribute section, and usually post the cover of the issue once a week on its accounts.

In them, in a highly pointed manner but always within the French constitutional framework that defines both religious tolerance and freedom of expression in the French Constitution and the 5th French Republic, the main cartoonists of the medium display four cartoons in which the protagonist is the technology tycoon and the main financial backer of President-elect Trump.

On the cover of the issue, Elon Musk as a worm is thrown from the corpse of Jean Marie Le Pen and the headline reads: “Elon Musk: The Far Right of the Future.”

In the very next sketch, Musk is shown with a pig’s nose and the caption message reads “Reinvented man.”

In the third sketch Musk in one of his company Tesla’s still sophisticated Cybertrucks crosses a jungle in Africa at the hands of natives.

While in the latter about Twitter he is shown by the cartoonists of the French medium becoming the “intermediary” of Trump’s extreme ideas and the message reads: “Twitter – Musk unblocks freedom of speech”

Mass is freeing the freedom of speech.

Blackmailing the media to “break the free speech barrier” is the only way to stop the “freedom of speech”.

“Trump is breaking the blogosphere,” he says.
The French medium which rarely addresses those it satirises by name has taken it a step further. In a message written in English, it tags Musk himself and challenges him – inviting him by stating “Hello Elon Musk! We hope you like our idea of freedom of expression. Please feel free to tell us which of the sketches you like best.”

It’s worth noting that Charlie Hebdo has paid in blood for its choice to address the big social, political, economic, and international issues of the day with a sharp journalistic pen and penny wise and pound farthing.

In 2015, 12 people were killed and 11 wounded when the Quassy brothers stormed the paper’s headquarters in central Paris, shooting indiscriminately. The occasion had been a provocative cover story about Mohammed.
