The American billionaire and owner of the social platform X Elon Musk called the UK a "tyrannical police state", supporting a petition calling for a new general election and sharing a documentary by an imprisoned far-right activist with his followers, UNN reports.
As noted by Politico , the owner of Company X and an adviser to US President-elect Donald Trump spent most of the year in a dispute with the new center-left British Labor government.
"The people of Britain are tired of a tyrannical police state," Musk wrote in X.
In his latest "attack", Musk responded to a post about a viral online petition calling for an immediate general election in the United Kingdom, which took place only in July and returned victory to Labor.
This comes a day after a tech entrepreneur - chosen to make government more efficient under Trump - posted a graph showing Prime Minister Keir Starmer's declining approval rating and added: "The voice of the people is the perfect antidote.
Politico recalled that Musk's fight with the British government began in the summer, when he spoke out about the murder of three schoolgirls in the seaside town of Southport to voice his opinions on police work in the UK, spread inaccurate information about the government's response, and accuse Starmer of creating a "two-tiered" justice system that is harsher on white people.
AddendumAddendum
In September , Musk criticized Britain after it became known that he would not be invited to an investment summit. He said that the British government allegedly released convicted pedophiles while imprisoning people for posts on social media.
In August, it was reported that British MPs Chi Onwurah and Dawn Butler of the Labor Party said they might summon Elon Musk to discuss the impact of his social network X on the recent racial unrest in the UK.
