Elon Musk brands Britain a 'tyrannical police state' and boosts far-right activist
The world’s richest man, also a key adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, has clashed for months with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at a time when the U.K. is concerned about its standing with the incoming U.S. administration.
Summary
Elon Musk labeled Britain a “tyrannical police state” on X, criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership, and questioned the imprisonment of far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
Musk’s comments coincide with his role as a key adviser to Trump, raising concerns in the U.K. about its relationship with the incoming administration.
Musk also criticized Starmer’s policies, including increased farm inheritance taxes, and boosted far-right content on X.
This follows similar clashes with other U.S. allies, including Germany and Australia, over their domestic policies.

He's right though.
I've never lived in a police state, but I've read enough about them to know the difference between a state with a corrupt and heavy-handed police force (i.e. almost every country) and East Germany under the Stasi.
Incidentally, if you think Britain now is a tyrannical police state, what exactly do you think it would be like if the Tommy Robinsons of the world got their way?
