The world’s richest man, also a key adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, has clashed for months with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at a time when the U.K. is concerned about its standing with the incoming U.S. administration.

Summary

Elon Musk labeled Britain a “tyrannical police state” on X, criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership, and questioned the imprisonment of far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Musk’s comments coincide with his role as a key adviser to Trump, raising concerns in the U.K. about its relationship with the incoming administration.

Musk also criticized Starmer’s policies, including increased farm inheritance taxes, and boosted far-right content on X.

This follows similar clashes with other U.S. allies, including Germany and Australia, over their domestic policies.

    "towards anyone who disagrees with you. "

    And there’s the lie.

    You shithead conservatives act like you aren’t the scum of the earth worth hating.

    This isnt about “anyone disagreeing”

    This about you being very specific pieces of shit.

      It seems that fascism being elected into the White House has made the shit leak out more everywhere, including Lemmy. I suspect my block list will be busier than ever in the coming years.
