Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro has ordered a ban on social media platform X for 10 days amid an uproar in the country over a disputed election. 
Row with social media platform owner Elon Musk escalates after Maduro was declared the winner of last month’s election. 
Accusing X owner Elon Musk of “inciting hate and fasicism”, Maduro on Thursday said he signed a resolution presented by telecommunications regulator Conatel which “has decided to take social network X, formerly known as Twitter, out of circulation for 10 days”. 
“Elon Musk is the owner of X and has violated all the rules of the social network itself,” Maduro said following a march by pro-government groups. 
“X get out of Venezuela for 10 days!” he said in a speech that was broadcast on state television. 
Election authorities declared Maduro <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/29/nicolas-maduro-declared-winner-of-closely-fought-venezuela-election">the</a> winner of the July 28 election with 51.2 percent of votes, but have yet to release detailed results.&nbsp; 
It said opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, who had been leading in opinion polls, got 44.2 percent. 
The announcement led to widespread accusations of fraud which also spread across social media. Protests from Venezuelans nationwide and abroad broke out demanding Maduro step down and honour a win by Gonzalez. 
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico on Thursday called on the National Electoral Council (CNE) to publish the vote tallies. 
The opposition says it won in a landslide and warned Thursday of a potential mass exodus if Maduro is allowed to remain in power.
