Summary

Elon Musk labeled Britain a “tyrannical police state” on X, criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership, and questioned the imprisonment of far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Musk’s comments coincide with his role as a key adviser to Trump, raising concerns in the U.K. about its relationship with the incoming administration.

Musk also criticized Starmer’s policies, including increased farm inheritance taxes, and boosted far-right content on X.

This follows similar clashes with other U.S. allies, including Germany and Australia, over their domestic policies.

      I’ve never lived in a police state, but I’ve read enough about them to know the difference between a state with a corrupt and heavy-handed police force (i.e. almost every country) and East Germany under the Stasi.

      Incidentally, if you think Britain now is a tyrannical police state, what exactly do you think it would be like if the Tommy Robinsons of the world got their way?
