Elon Musk makes provocative comments about Keir Starmer amid civil unrest in the UK
ai generated text
Elon Musk criticized the UK government on his social media platform X, using a meme from the TV show Family Guy to make his point. The meme depicts the main character receiving the death penalty for making a joke, which some users interpreted as a commentary on the UK's increasing authoritarianism, with one user comparing it to Communist China. Musk's comments were met with a response from Justice Minister Heidi Alexander, who stated that the use of language such as "civil war" is unacceptable.
We've been working with the social media companies, and some of the action that they've taken already with the automatic removal of some false information is to be welcomed.
Use of language such as a 'civil war' is in no way acceptable.
We are seeing police officers being seriously injured, buildings set alight, and so I really do think that everyone who has a platform should be exercising their power responsibly.
