X owner deletes post sharing faked Telegraph article that claimed convicted rioters would be sent to detention camps

Elon Musk shared a fake Telegraph article claiming Keir Starmer was considering sending far-right rioters to “emergency detainment camps” in the Falklands.

Musk deleted his post after about 30 minutes but a screenshot captured by Politics.co.uk suggests it had garnered nearly two million views before it was deleted.

In it, Musk shared the image posted by the co-leader of the far-right group Britain First, Ashlea Simon, which she captioned with, “we’re all being deported to the Falklands”.

    The persistent bullshit cuntery is exhausting. This feels like a tactic, trumpian relentless attention grabbing. Fuck him.

      It’s based on creating the same kind of environment that exists in Russia. Everything is fake, nothing is real, everyone lies.

      It’s really easy to control people when they feel that objective truths are no longer possible.
