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.

      Elon has spent $5 billion in taxpayers money and he hasn’t even gotten an empty Starship into orbit yet. NASA can land a working rover on Mars for $1billion, and SpaceX can barely manage to recapture a smoking husk of a booster on “the chopsticks”.

      Believe me the galaxy is safe. Elon just wants those taxpayers dollars to keep his grift going.

          “Captain, we are being hailed by T’ger.”

          “On screen.”

          “Elon and Don at McDonalds. Arms wide.”

          “Arm photon torpedoes.”
