Elon Musk Suggests America Should ‘Liberate’ Britain From ‘Tyrannical Government’
Elon Musk has asked whether the U.S. should “liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government” as the tech billionaire intervened in U.K. politics again.
In recent months, the key adviser to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly posted attacks on social media of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his center-left Labour Party, which was elected in July.
Most recently, the South African-born U.S. businessman has focused on child sexual abuse and the U.K. government’s handling of investigations into organized gangs that allegedly oversaw the systematic rape of young women.
The Tesla CEO has also pushed the “two-tier policing” conspiracy theory, claiming British officials treat pro-Palestinian or Black Lives Matter demonstrators more leniently than far-right protesters.
Musk’s fascination with the U.K. was reportedly set to extend to making a substantial donation to Reform U.K., the growing right-wing party. But that now looks in doubt after Musk on Sunday said leader Nigel Farage “doesn’t have what it takes.”

Musk’s fallout with Farage — the political leader had described Musk as “a hero” — stems from the Reform U.K. leader distancing himself from jailed far-right activist Tommy Robinson. Musk has said Robinson should be released from prison.
On Monday, Starmer responded to Musk’s attacks, condemning “those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible.”Far-right megalomaniac and world peace threat Elon Musk suggests that Americans “liberate” the UK from its supposedly “tyrannical” government as part of Musk’s quest to upend the world order that has kept European free from fascism.
