Elon Musk brands Britain a 'tyrannical police state' and boosts far-right activist

LONDON — He’s branded one U.S. ally's government “fascists” and another leader a “fool.” Now, Elon Musk has labeled Britain a “tyrannical police state” while endorsing calls for a new election and boosting a video from a jailed far-right activist.

Musk, not just the world’s richest man but a key adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, has clashed for months with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at a time when the U.K. is concerned about its standing with the incoming U.S. administration.

Over the weekend the tech billionaire took his feud to a new level, taunting the U.K.'s new center-left leader over sinking approval ratings and questioning why far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned.

"The people of Britain have had enough of a tyrannical police state," Musk posted on his X platform, quoting a post about an online petition calling for another election that has now reached 2 million signatures.

Starmer's Labour Party won an overwhelming majority in July and does not need to call a vote for another five years. But his leadership has been beset by an immediate sense of crisis, low approval ratings and more recently a mass protest by angry farmers. The petition accuses the government of having "gone back on the promises" it made during the election.

Musk drew criticism from the U.K. in August, when he said the country was on the verge of “civil war” following days of right-wing riots after three young girls were killed in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party.

Progressive Propaganda Speak; far-right activist = white British citizen

Tommy Robinson is a journalist. A real one not an NBC far-left political activist.

Elon Musk isn’t perfect, but he is a big part of the healing we so desperately need.

Yes, thank you for stating that truth with proper emphasis on "real". :-)

What has Tommy Robinson ever done to deserve jail except speak? He’s not the fascist. The fascists are the ones that don’t like free speech.

This is good. Elon is saying things Trump believes, but not politically correct as a politician. Elon is Trump’s hit man while Trump is trying to remain “Presidential”. 😁

Britain has become an absolute disgrace. The coverup of moslem and Sikh rape gangs goes back to the late 1980’s. (ie. Thatcher years)

Covers the entire Premierships of Major, Blair, Cameron.

Kier Starmer was director of Public Prosecutions 2008-2013 while this was going on.

For political correctness reasons even the “Conservatives” covered up the scale and grooming gang and ethnic nature of what was happening. In order to keep the immigration pipeline flowing.

(story from the Independent, 1989)

They had Tommy Robinson broke at one point. He did not want the Limelight anymore. They kept going after him anyway. As a result he realized he had nothing left to lose and he went back in all the way.

This article proves that NBC News has no intention of reforming itself.

Robinson is not far right and Starmer is not center left. And X is not full of “extremists.” However, NBC News is full of propaganda.

Well, everyone they call “far right” actually just has some common sense and reason, which is so foreign to them it might as well be a galaxy far, far away. And everyone “center left” is actually somewhere between Mao and Stalin.
