Elon Musk posted the full film "Citizen Vigilante," starring Armie Hammer, on his X account for approximately 48 hours before the link went offline. The movie, written and directed by German filmmaker Uwe Boll, was banned in Germany over concerns about its violent content. The film marks one of Hammer’s first leading roles since he faced sexual assault allegations in 2021, which he denied; Los Angeles prosecutors declined to file charges in 2023. Musk replied to a post showing the film had reached No. 2 on Apple TV, writing that the sequel "will be even better." Boll announced on X that "Citizen Vigilante 2" is slated for release in 2027. The plot has been described differently by two sources, with one emphasizing a mission against criminal migrants and another focusing on violence toward criminals and corrupt officials.
