Elon Musk, tech billionaire and owner of the social platform X, sparked controversy on Monday by posting a poll asking if the U.S. should “liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.” Musk’s comments follow his ongoing criticism of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who recently condemned “lies and misinformation” affecting democracy.
Musk has increasingly aligned himself with far-right movements in the U.K. and Germany, boosting figures like anti-immigrant activist Tommy Robinson, who is currently serving a prison sentence for violating a court order on libelous allegations. Musk has also voiced dissatisfaction with Nigel Farage leading the far-right Reform U.K. party, suggesting the group needs new leadership. Farage responded, disagreeing with Musk’s stance and reaffirming his principles.
Musk’s statements have drawn attention to his growing involvement in European politics, where he has significant business interests.
