Musk Spreads False Claim Of UK “Detainment Camps”

August 8, 2024 Britain, Extremists

Politico Europe reports:

Elon Musk is at it again. Amid an ongoing feud with the British government about unrest on the country’s streets, the billionaire X owner boosted, and then deleted, an entirely-manufactured news headline Thursday pushed by a far-right political party.

Musk shared a fake headline — purporting to be from the Telegraph newspaper — that said U.K. PM Keir Starmer is “considering building ’emergency detainment camps’ on the Falkland Islands” to house far-right rioters arrested in the country’s round of race riots.

Musk shared the image posted by Ashlea Simon, the co-leader of Britain First. It’s a fringe far-right party in the U.K. known for its “invasions” of mosques and the time its senior figures have spent in jail for religiously aggravated harassment.

Read the full article. There’s more. Yesterday members of Parliament said they want to question Musk over his posts that have helped to incite the far-right riots that continue to roil Britain. Musk, whose companies have billions in US federal contracts, has not yet publicly responded on that.
