Elon Musk has hit out at the Labour government over its plans to hit some farmers with inheritance tax as those from the agriculture industry plan huge protests.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves unveiled the new policy in the Budget, meaning that from 2026, inheritance tax relief for business and for agricultural assets will be capped at £1million.
Many farmers are furious as this could see them hit with a huge tax bill when their farms are passed down to family members, even risking putting them out of business.
But Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has defended the policy, saying he is “absolutely confident” that most farmers will be exempt.
Amid growing controversy surrounding the policy, X and Tesla boss Elon Musk has waded into the debate.
He posted on X: "Britan is going full Stalin."

Keir Starmer the Farmer Harmer.
British deep state does not like outsiders telling it’s subjects anything resembling truth. They prefer puff pieces that don’t involve Statism or the stabby cult. Look, this Royal is blah, blah and said this about that.
“ But Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has defended the policy, saying he is “absolutely confident” that most farmers will be exempt.”
Then why have a law to do something that doesn’t have to be done?
Because it is Stalinist in that it can be selectively enforced as lawfare.
Dictatorships always use their laws to throw people in the gulag.
It is great that Elon Musk is speaking up on such things.
Britain is going full Stalin https://t.co/GYtwBMu11S— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 18, 2024
Dear UK, we had a major revolution a couple of centuries ago and a close to that one a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully, both of ours allowed us to use free speech. It’s your turn. We are actively trying to flush the leftist turds. Now, please go to it. I’ve lived in the UK and have fond memories of my experiences. Your people are far, FAR better than leftist trash.
Stalin hated farmers, by the way. Eventually most of the farms in Russia (once the farmers were dead) were seized by the state and given to people who didn’t know how to grow food on them.
We need to change our "friendship" with the UK, maybe we shouldn't trust them because we do not have shared values?
And if he’s wrong, it’s no skin off his nose, so screw the kulaks.
Musk certainly has it right on this one, no doubt about it.
From kulaks to gulags. Except the U.K. doesn’t have Siberia, so maybe forced to Scotland? I hope they’re not vegetarians; they’d starve.
I’m not sure how stuff works in the UK, but US common law is Brit law and precedence (outside Louisiana).
So can’t farms avoid this by incorporating?
For example, I don’t think DeBeers is subject to an inheritance tax.
Government is always hungry! Feed it more! Feed it more!
Times change. England is increasingly becoming antithetical to American ideals. Again.
Too late. They gave up there guns.
We’re acting like Margaret Thatcher is still in charge of the UK.
I wouldexpect anything else from a stooge like Starmer who chose Obama as a mentor:

Now you know why Barack was making those trips to 10 Downing.St.
The Brits are in trouble.
Not just the UK, most all of Europe has gone full Fascist ... with thought police, etc. full service jack boots ... will come to your home at 3:00 am.
Bttt. The Rothchilds are probably behind all of this, they want to own everything by owning the Government, and the rest of us will have to rent.
