UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and billionaire Elon Musk are in a heated dispute following Musk’s comment on social media. Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), suggested that Britain is heading towards civil war amid recent riots in UK cities. His remarks have sparked controversy, especially as the riots are linked to social media’s role in spreading unrest.
Starmer has strongly rejected Musk’s claim, emphasizing that there is no reason to believe civil war is imminent. The Prime Minister’s spokesperson criticized Musk’s comment and focused on the need to address violence against asylum seekers, which has been a major issue.
In response to Starmer’s post about increasing protection for mosques, Musk questioned the decision, adding fuel to the ongoing argument. This clash highlights the tensions between public figures and the impact of their statements on social media.
