Musk calls for snap UK election in attack on Starmer

Musk - Starmer news

The US-based tech billionaire has lashed out at the British prime minister in a string of tweets.

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has slammed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and called for early parliamentary elections in the UK, in an attack on the Labour government.

The US-based tech billionaire, who has recently emerged as a close adviser to US President-elect Donald Trump, expressed support for the Reform UK party and called for the release of jailed right-wing activist Tommy Robinson in a series of posts on X overnight.

In his posts, Musk questioned Starmer’s record as the head of the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service from 2008 to 2013 and accused him of failing to investigate “rape gangs” in Britain.

He also pointed to a recent YouGov poll suggesting an “absolutely stunning” decline in support for the Labor government. According to the poll published this week, only 12% of respondents said Labour have been successful so far, while more than half described it as ‘incompetent’ and ‘dishonest’.

“A new election should be called in Britain,” Musk wrote in a post on X, sharing the poll results. Starmer’s government currently enjoys a 163-seat majority following a landslide victory in July. The next parliamentary elections in the UK are scheduled to take place in 2029. London has not reacted to Musk’s latest statements so far.

The tech entrepreneur also shared a post agreeing with the statement that Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK party is “the only way to save” Britain.

Musk earlier met with Farage at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, with some media outlets claiming he had pledged as much as $100 million in support for the British party. Musk, however, denied the reports.

In a series of posts, he also called for the release of British right-wing activist Tommy Robinson. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was sentenced to 18 months behind bars in late October for publishing a documentary containing libelous claims about a Syrian refugee. The activist calls himself a “political prisoner” and claimed he was jailed for “speaking the truth.”

This is not the first time the US-based billionaire has harshly criticized the Labour government. In August, he said that a “civil war is inevitable” in the UK, prompting London to hit back, calling his words “totally unjustified.” In November, he supported a petition for early elections in the UK, which was backed by over 2 million signatures, and called Britain under Starmer a “tyrannical police state.”

Musk has also recently lashed out at German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, predicting that he will lose snap elections in February, and expressing support for the right-wing Alternative for Germany party. Berlin reacted by warning that Musk’s statements could strain relations between Germany and the US.

  1. Stop supporting this nut. Stop using x, don’t use starlink and don’t buy a tesla.

    “and called Britain under Starmer a “tyrannical police state.””

    As he is set to be part of a technocratic tyranny. Alot of F N people who stood up for personal freedoms during the scamdemic are getting taken for a ride.

    He supports chipping people
    His starlink system can be made to track everyone
    He supports CBDCs
    He supports UBI/BUI
    His friends and backers work in intelligence and security

    Listen to this clown at your own peril

    • Indeed. I saw a video from David Icke ( i cannot find the link any more) where Icke explains the association of Musk with Trump. If i understood rightly, it seems that it will facilitate a change in the US legislation to connect neurolink to starlink.
      But i am affraid that is all i understood as i don t have a good understanding of these new tech.

    • I will never forget Musk with his baphomet costume on his Twitter profile. He left it there for ages too. The guy is not to be trusted,

  2. In the UK, serious crimes such as rape require the Crown Prosecution Service’s approval for the police to charge suspects.

    Who was the head of the CPS when rape gangs were allowed to exploit young girls without facing justice?

    Keir Starmer, 2008 -2013

  3. No one is perfect, black pilled folk like to think there is.

    If Elon damages the globalist death cult today irrevocably that is great, one step closer to defeating the enemy.

    If he does something stupid the next day, hold his feet to the fire. Same with Trump, RFK, on and on.

    Tommy Robinson needs this support, good on him.

    We need people to jump ship to get the victory, doesn’t mean we trust them.

    Everyone has somehow sold out to the enemy in their past one way or another. We are fallen, that is human nature.

    • Agreed. Not my no.1 pick but anything/anyone that opposes and disrupts the current system is better in my eyes. Step one is to get rid of these globalists. Let’s see where things are at if we even get this far. The fact that msm are super anti Musk when they used to suck his d is all the info I need currently to want to see him in the mix. Fingers crossed the outcome is better than what we currently have.

  4. I don’t trust Musk but I don’t disagree with him either. Reform is the only current hope for the UK. So called Labour and the Tories are little more than globalists. You could level the same claim against the mainstream political party’s here in New Zealand.

  5. Plenty of governments have their popularity tank during their term in office.

    Doesn’t mean a new election can be called, unless they effectively cannot pass bills into law.

    Labour was in opposition for ages and the tories were not popular. Like here, both ‘sides’ follow the agendas
