Elon Musk attacks the British government: It is a “tyrannical police state”

His rivalry with the center-left Starmer government began last summer - He has been also criticizing the arrests of people for writing their opinion on social media

Newsroom November 25 04:25

 

Elon Musk has fired again at the British government, calling the country a “tyrannical police state” while publicly backing a call for early elections.

In his latest attack, Musk said more specifically that:

The people of Britain have had enough of a tyrannical police state https://t.co/0PtR5qQOKw

Musk’s rivalry with the center-left Labour government led by Kir Starmer began over the summer, when the businessman commented on the murder of three schoolgirls in Southport accusing the government of “two-speed justice.”

 Musk’s comment came a day after the tech mogul, whom Trump tapped for the job of head of the Office of Government Efficiency, posted a graph showing a decline in Prime Minister Kir Starmer’s approval ratings.

Elon Musk has repeatedly criticized what is happening in the UK, accusing the country of becoming an authoritarian, especially after the crackdown of the British police on free speech in social media.

Incarceration for contempt of court, even when valid, should not be for such an egregious length of time.

When compared to the many crimes that receive little to no prison time, this cannot be considered fair or just. https://t.co/pQfe3DJ9cW
