Nobody needs to hear what Musk thinks.

Downing Street has criticised comments by Elon Musk who posted on X that “civil war is inevitable” under a video of violent riots in Liverpool.

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson said the violence came from a small minority of people who “do not speak for Britain” and said the prime minister did not share the sentiments of the billionaire, who has previously been criticised for allowing far-right figures back on to his social media platform.

…

Musk was responding to a video posted on X by the Libs of TikTok account, originally posted by the far-right activist Tommy Robinson, who has been spreading videos of rioting that has targeted mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers.

The X owner criticised Starmer again on Monday night, responding to the prime minister’s statement on protecting Muslim communities and mosques. Musk posted: “Shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on *all* communities?”

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was banned from X in 2018, when it was known as Twitter, but his account was restored by Musk last year under his new ownership. Musk has since interacted with Robinson on the platform, posting exclamation marks under at least one of his posts about the violence. Musk has amplified a number of accounts posting inflammatory content about the violence, by commenting or posting exclamation marks under the users’ posts.

Such a nice guy.
