Billionaire Elon Musk has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by
Norwegian lawmaker Marius Nilsen, who cited Musk’s efforts in championing
free speech.

Nilsen, the MP for Norway’s libertarian Progress Party, nominated the
Tesla founder for his “adamant defense of dialogue, free speech and
[enabling] the possibility to express one’s views” in a “continuously more polarized world.”

Musk’s other companies, such as SpaceX, Neuralink, and Tesla, were also contributing factors to his nomination.

“The multitude of tech companies Musk has founded, owns or runs, aimed at bettering societies, increasing knowledge of both earth and space, in
addition to enabling communication and connectivity globally… has helped
make the world a more connected and safer place,” he continued.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee, a group who decides the winner of the prestigious honor, only accepts nominations from government officials and individuals in academia.

Notable past winners include Malala Yousafzai, Barack Obama, Nelson
Mandela, and Jimmy Carter. In 2023, Narges Mohammadi, a Iranian human
rights activist, took home the prize.

Narges Mohammadi has fought bravely for human rights in Iran. However she
has paid a high price for her courageous struggle.
