“Starmer to jail,” Musk tweeted this morning to his 210 million followers on the X network he owns, where he is receiving unprecedented exposure. The tweet came against the background of a tweet by an account famous for its positions against immigration in Europe, which uploaded the photo of three British girls who were murdered by a Muslim man, and criticized Starmer who said that “Britain’s problem is Islamophobia”.

This was not enough for Musk, who also conducted a survey today, which was answered by hundreds of thousands, in which he asked “Should the United States free the British people from their tyrannical government.” By a considerable margin, tens of percent answered that the answer to the question should be “yes.” As I recall, while In exactly two weeks, Musk will become an official and integral part of the US government.

The latest uproar against the Labor government in Great Britain began on Thursday, when Jess Phillips, a minister at the Home Office in London, said that there was no need to open a government investigation into a wide range of allegations of criminal gangs that lure minors for various sexual purposes (Grooming Gangs). Philippis argued that the investigation into the matter should remain at the municipal level, but the many victims are demanding a government investigation themselves.
What adds more fuel to the fire is the fact that many members of those gangs are members of different minorities. One of the claims is that the government avoids a wide examination of the issue in order not to provoke inter-racial tensions in the country. Musk called Phillips a “wicked witch” and a “genocide advocate of rape.” He also added that she should also be put in prison.
“I think most people are more interested in what’s going to happen with the NHS, frankly, than what’s going on on Twitter,” UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said. At the same time, he clarified: “Sexual exploitation of children sickens me, and for too many years too many victims have been completely neglected in the name of communal ideas. No one listened to them and their voices were not heard.”
Starmer declined to refer to Musk by name, but said: “Those who spread lies and false information as disturbing as possible are not interested in the victims, they are interested in themselves. But attacking Jess Phillips, who I am proud to call a colleague and friend, is not protecting the victims. Jess Phillips has done a thousand times more than they would ever dream of Once in everything related to the protection of victims of sexual assault.”
Starmer went on to say that “when the poison of the extreme right leads to threats – a line has been crossed”. Yesterday, Musk surprised and also attacked the right-wing populist politician in Great Britain, Nigel Farage, saying that his party, “The Reform”, should replace him. In recent days, Musk has been taking an active part in a network campaign calling for the release from prison of Tommy Robinson, one of the most prominent far-right activists in Britain, who is imprisoned for contempt of court. Farage clarified in his response to Musk: “My opinion remains that Robinson is not suitable for the Reform Party.”
Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree.
My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles. https://t.co/V7iccN6usS

In Britain, there is outrage over what they recognize as the interference of Musk, one of the most influential people in the world, in local politics. In recent weeks, the businessman has also done this in German politics, expressing passionate and uncompromising support for the far-right AfD party, which many identify with neo-Nazism. Musk even recently published an opinion column in one of Germany’s most respected newspapers, titled: “Only the AfD can save Germany.”
