Elon Musk has ramped up his row with the UK as he branded the prime minister “two-tier Keir” and questioned if it was “Britain or the Soviet Union” after a man was apparently arrested over Facebook comments.
The billionaire owner of X has been engaged in a war of words with Sir Keir Starmer over riots gripping the UK, amid concerns online disinformation is fuelling the unrest.
In his latest rebuke, Musk reposted a video appearing to show police officers arresting a man for making offensive comments on Facebook.
“Arrested for making comments on Facebook!,” Musk wrote on X.
“Is this Britain or the Soviet Union? Is this accurate @Community Notes.”

jfc I need to add musk to a keyword block list
If I took a shot every time I heard his name I would become an alcoholic by the end of the week. But at least then I wouldn’t remember him.
You’d probably die of alcohol poisoning by the end of the day. But your point still stands.
It’s none of your business, Elon. Keep out of it.
Oh it is his buisness.
His platform is guilty of spreading the lies that lead to this, it is also guilty for enflaming it. And he’s just pouring gasoline.
All because this snowflake is mad his daughter is trans.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s also a Russia sympathiser and is in someway benefiting from spreading discontent in the west.
Or in a similar vein, just gets paid to do shit.
Who cares? Guy’s a loser
Should take him week tops to design a submarine to take him to the Titanic. It’s closer than Mars. Do it, Elon, show 'em all!
Something tells me that if people were “making comments on Facebook” inciting violence toward billionaires or Republicans he’d change his tune.

Online disinformation is fueling many of the world’s problems
Is there any way on Lemmy to block any post with the words “Elon Musk”? So tired of scrolling through posts about a modern Howard Hughes.
