The number of celebrities and well-known public figures supporting Pavel Durov after his controversial arrest in France earlier this weekend has skyrocketed.

Some of those include Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy, Vitalik Buterin, Jackson Hinkle, and Tucker Carlson.

Durov’s Arrest

CryptoPotato reported earlier today Durov’s arrest in France on Saturday evening, which, according to local media, was because the popular messaging app he runs failed to moderate the content. He faces up to 20 years of prison for possible offenses like money laundering, complicity, terrorism, and narcotics.

Toncoin, a cryptocurrency project strongly related to Telegram, experienced enhanced turbulence, especially its native token. TON plummeted by more than 20% after the news broke, from over $6.75 to under $5.4.

The team behind the project outlined its support for Durov and free speech on X, saying that the “TON community remains strong and fully operational.”

“As a community committed to freedom of speech and decentralization, we stand firmly by Pavel during this challenging time. Pavel has been a dedicated advocate for these values, and we believe his efforts to promote an open and decentralized internet will continue to inspire millions.” – reads the post.

Free Pavel Movement

Being among the most vocal supporters of free speech, Elon Musk was among the first to declare his support for Durov as he posted the hashtag “#FreePavel.” Staying true to his sarcastic nature in such situations, he added later: “POV: It’s 2030 in Europe and you’re being executed for liking a meme,” referring to the growing censorship in the continent.
