Elon Musk’s X platform turned “Citizen Vigilante 2” into a streaming sensation—free to watch, rocketing to 2 on Apple TV—after its June 19 release. Directed by Uwe Boll, the film follows a disillusioned businessman who becomes a vigilante targeting criminals, especially migrants, sparking viral outrage and legal trouble. Critics accuse it of promoting anti-immigration messaging, so much so that Germany’s FSK refused to certify it, fearing it might incite violence. Musk’s political ties, including his support for far-right German parties, add fuel to the fire. Even lead actor Hammer reportedly disliked the final cut for being more hateful than intended—but Musk’s promotion undeniably thrust the film into the global spotlight, proving how social media can turn niche releases into cultural phenomena.
