Elon Musk has been branded “deeply irresponsible” for stoking tensions in the UK on his social media site X/ Twitter.
The multi–billionaire, who bought the tech firm in 2022, clashed with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a war of words over riots across our country. Mr Musk published a stream of posts on the crisis, sharing videos from right-wing influencers and memes about the UK to his 193 million followers.
He branded the PM “two-tier Keir” in reference to accusations of “two-tier policing” in Britain, which the PM has rejected. Last night MPs said Mr Musk could be summoned to Parliament to be grilled over his comments, as well as his platform’s role in stoking violence in the UK.
Speaking after an emergency cobra meeting on Tuesday evening, Mr Starmer insisted his “sole focus” is on keeping communities in Britain safe when asked if he was worried about Mr Musk’s influence. The PM spoke about meeting officers in Southport who had been the first responders to the “terrible attack that happened” and were later subjected to violence on the streets by far-right thugs. “I think it’s very important for us all to support the police in what they're doing,” he said.

FO, Sir Shmarmy
“two-tier Keir” - Nice turn of phrase by Musk.
Musk should ask them, “what are you gonna do, run me through with your rapier-like wit?”
Summoned to Parliament? Says who?
“far-right thugs”= citizens.
The “thugs” are the invaders and the far-left.
No doubt. That’s a keeper. Perfectly on point.
The Brits do not have Freedom of Speech, properly so-called.
We take certain free speech protections for granted, whereas even the Canadians have to sweat the consequences or perceived consequences of their speech in certain situations.
“far-right thugs”= citizens. The “thugs” are the invaders and the far-left.
He did that with GruesomeNewsome. Time to move up the food chain.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Musk should just say “Fine. I am taking your Starlink Down.”
Haha. He may shut down X in the UK anyway. It'll force people to use VPNs.
People will view the UK as an "Orwellian" state.
The wealthy will leave the country to move elsewhere like Dubai.
I’ve said before that outspoken billionaires had better consider hiring former special forces on a black budget retainer to deal with their globalist government enemies.
It saddens me greatly to see what has happened to England.
Partly because I see that same thing in store for us if we don’t put it to bed.
He should ask them how the British space program is going.
We are already suffering from some of the similar issues. The UK is 20 years ahead of us.
That is much how I see it.
Once again, England wants to trample on an American citizen’s rights.
