McGregor issued a statement after Musk's comments about Ireland

Former UFC champion in two weight classes Conor McGregor expressed gratitude to American entrepreneur Elon Musk for his words about Ireland. The other day the latter warned the Irish government about the inadmissibility of restricting freedom of speech.

“Elon, your constant support in this matter deserves sincere respect and gratitude! We, the people of Ireland, will never tolerate any corrupt legislation. We will not tolerate attempts to take away our freedom to speak our minds and engage in fair and honest debate.

This is a stupid and weak attempt to silence the views of the opposition, and we say no! We will fight this to the end. We will fight and win. Thank you Elon,” McGregor X wrote.
