Politico Europe reports:
Elon Musk fired the latest shots in his war with the British government over the weekend, branding the U.K. a “tyrannical police state,” boosting a petition calling for a fresh general election, and sharing a documentary by a jailed far-right activist to his millions of X followers.
The X owner and adviser to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has spent much of the year feuding with Britain’s new center-left Labour government.
In his latest attack, Musk responded to a post about a viral online petition calling for an immediate general election in the U.K., which only went to the polls in July and returned Labour in a landslide.
Read the full article. Last week Musk declared that he would defy a House of Commons summons over his role in sparking racist riots after a fatal stabbing spree at a British school.
The people of Britain have had enough of a tyrannical police state https://t.co/0PtR5qQOKw

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in.
The owner of this site/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next president is promoting a Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers.
