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.

    Judging the entire police force of a country by a case from 2005 is kinda insane ngl. I’m not saying every police member is an angel, but the overwhelming majority of german police is completely normal and trustworthy.

    systematic violence against pro-Palestinian protestors

    Bullshit. There is no such thing. You know what there is tho? A fuckton of anti semitic people that tend to get violent at demonstrations.
