This is evil nonsense. Musk has lost his marbles.
Perhaps we do need a wide inquiry into extremism in British life. Neither Islamic State or a fascist beneficiary of apartheid like Musk or… pic.twitter.com/jeGJaIYjZ4
The oleaginous Jenrick finally put in his box. From generic careerist to Enoch Powell tribute act, this is a man who cares so much about vulnerable kids he blocked child refugees from seeing cartoons on a wall. A despicable self-serving grifting prick. pic.twitter.com/E1iWXKczjG

BREAKING: Starmer attacks Far Right & Elon Musk. In a pointed comment on Musk, the PM calls out those “so desperate for attention, they’re prepared to debase themselves & their country.” “When the poison of the Far Right leads to threats…a line has been crossed.” Strong, necessary stuff. (🎥 BBC)

Gutter politics:
This is an astonishing thing for a British MP to say. Astonishing. Even from someone of Jenrick's base disposition. It is obviously, patently racist. More importantly, it encourages violent racist extremism.

In a barrage of posts X rife with misinformation, Elon Musk revived questions about a child sex abuse scandal, vilified the prime minister of the UK and defended Tommy Robinson, a jailed far-right agitator.

In the last decade, two Members of Parliament in the UK have been murdered by extremists. Elon Musk, with this continued disinformation, risks inspiring another attack or killing. He is a danger to UK national security and the inaction from UK Government on the subject is no longer sustainable.

Imagine the outcry if George Soros or Bill Gates did something as blatant. "Elon Musk is facing fierce criticism from British parliamentarians after he called for far-right ringleader Tommy Robinson to be released from prison." www.politico.eu/article/elon…
