Following Elon Musk’s declaration that “civil war is inevitable” in the UK, Downing Street denounced the Tesla CEO. The billionaire founder of X, formerly known as Twitter, Elon Musk, responded to a video on his social media network depicting protestors firing pyrotechnics at law enforcement by posting these remarks.
Right-wing pundit Ashley St. Clair uploaded the video showing rioters fighting police, attributing the disturbances to “the effects of mass migration and open borders.”
Musk said, “Civil war is inevitable” in response to the post. He also commented, with an exclamation point, to another photo that showed fireworks being tossed during Liverpool’s chaos.
The official spokesperson for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded to questions on Musk’s remarks by saying, “There’s no justification for comments like that.” The organized crime that we have witnessed in our nation has no place in our streets or on the internet. We’re dealing with a handful of thugs who do not represent Britain, as the Home Secretary stated. As a result, we have seen the best members of our communities band together to clear up the chaos and disturbance that those who do not represent our nation have generated.
After renaming Twitter as X in November of last year, Musk has come under fire for restoring the accounts of far-right individuals, such as Tommy Robinson (actual name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon).
He commented on a post uploaded on Yaxley-Lennon’s account on Sunday, August 4.
Musk intervened once more, calling Home Secretary Yvette Cooper’s announcement of emergency security measures for mosques but not for churches or synagogues “one-sided” and unfair. Musk tweeted, “Shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on all communities?” in response to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s post from Monday, August 4, in which Starmer said, “We will not tolerate attacks on mosques or on Muslim communities.”
