UK Leaders Condemn Elon Musk’s Incendiary Remarks at London Anti-Migrant Rally
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has sharply condemned comments made by Elon Musk at a recent anti-immigration rally in London, labeling them as “dangerous.” Speaking via video link to Saturday’s “Unite the Kingdom” demonstration, the X and Tesla owner controversially claimed “violence is coming to Britain” and urged protesters to “fight back or you die.”
The rally, organized by far-right campaigner Tommy Robinson, saw significant unrest, with police reporting 26 officers injured, four seriously, and 25 arrests made as some protesters attempted to breach lines separating them from a counter-demonstration. Musk’s address also called for the dissolution of Parliament and an early election to oust Starmer’s center-left government.
Despite widespread condemnation from opposition leaders, including calls for sanctions against Musk and blocking Tesla from government contracts, Starmer’s government has indicated no plans to take such measures. The Prime Minister emphasized that while peaceful protest is a core value, assaults on police or intimidation based on background will not be tolerated. This incident follows a pattern of Musk’s support for hard-right figures in Europe amidst growing political concern over unauthorized immigration in the UK.
