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

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:

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.

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