Axios reports:
Elon Musk hijacked British politics this week with a stream of at least 60 X posts since Tuesday attacking Prime Minister Keir Starmer, defending an anti-Islam campaigner and endorsing the far-right Reform Party. The right-hand man to America’s next president has gone after the leaders of several of its closest allies in recent months. But his fight with the British government is turning into the nastiest yet.
There’s been intense speculation he’ll also open his checkbook for Reform and its Trump-aligned leader, Nigel Farage. In the most recent of several attacks on Starmer, Musk labeled him “Keir Starmtrooper,” and shared a meme claiming the PM was more concerned about policing social media posts than rape. Musk also called for the release of anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson, a figure so controversial in Britain that even Farage has distanced himself from him.
Read the full article. Earlier this year Musk was accused of inciting riots by posting false claims about a fatal stabbing spree at a British school.

Elon Musk is out of control and a danger to British society. How long before some deranged lunatic acts on this kind of incitement? Keir Starmer must take a stand against him. pic.twitter.com/bEFwGBgzgv

Elon Musk has called for the release of jailed UK far-right activist and anti-Islam campaigner ‘Tommy Robinson’.
Musk has also advocated for a new UK election, as he increases his support for European far-right and anti-immigration leaders. pic.twitter.com/MgVEDBNmlD

🚨🚨 WATCH THIS VIDEO before giving any support to Tommy Robinson, and certainly before donating to him.
Elon Musk is recklessly supporting the idea that Tommy is in prison for “telling the truth.” I broke down the documentary that landed him in prison, in detail: pic.twitter.com/8Oiweny4ul

Look at Elon Musk’s pinned post.
For clarity : Tommy Robinson is a neo Nazi fascist who is fanatically pro Israel, poses in IDF clothing & who is paid by Mossad to spread Muslim hate & destabilise the UK

Tommy Robinson is in jail for contempt of court because he repeated false claims against a Syrian refugee.
Its not a ‘debate’. Its a lie and he tried to use it to foment anger and hatred in our society for political gain. Elon Musk appears to be doing the same. https://t.co/1zEqJR177a

Elon Musk – supports the German far-right AfD, wants Nigel Farage to be PM, loves Tommy Robinson, bizarrely wants Jess Phillips to be jailed and amplifies every racist going. The boy who grew up benefitting from Apartheid is now a fully-fledged fascist, isn’t he?

For those who don’t know Tommy Robinson is a racist hoodlum who has inspired hate against immigrants, people of color, and Muslims. Of course Musk loves him. What more do you all need to see? https://t.co/Uo7ildgPDU
