*Musk has spent days beefing with politicians over the far-right unrest sweeping the UK. *

Elon Musk could be summoned for a grilling by British MPs over X’s role in race riots that have rocked the U.K. over the last week, as well as his own incendiary comments about the violence.

Labour MPs Chi Onwurah and Dawn Butler, who are competing to chair parliament’s science, innovation and technology committee, both told POLITICO they’d press the billionaire X owner and other technology executives to answer questions about the role of social media platforms amid mounting unrest in the U.K.

Musk has spent days beefing with British politicians over the riots, and is locked in a war of words with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the U.K’s handling of them. Musk on Sunday wrote “civil war is inevitable” in the U.K. and claimed that the response by U.K. police has been “one-sided."

    So far in my time on lemmy, browsing all means I have to block most communities I come across. Not because they’re invalid, usually because I don’t speak the language. It’s simply clutter to me. That being said I really wish there weren’t hundreds of new anime instances every day. It’s getting really old blocking them and thinking you’ve gotten rid of them all, then 15 more pop up. I don’t downvote in either situation, just kind of a sidebar here.
