Musk should ‘butt out’ of riot discourse and focus on his own platform | Hugo Swire

“That's why we've had it in Plymouth. I'm convinced of it because people are reading this stuff online.”

Elon Musk should “butt out” of challenging Keir Starmer on the UK riots and instead focus on regulation of his own platform, says member of the House of Lords Hugo Swire.

3:21 Scotland doesn’t have areas of migrants like England. Few pockets of minorities spread out but nothing on England scale. That’s why it’s not a thing there.

The Times = " THE FAR WRONG "

Where doesn’t Elon Musk have freedom of speech? His comments are protected under US law and First Amendment. Moreover, he is entitled to hold his view.

You gotta love middle-class highly-educated home-owners condemning the Left-Behind working class. Totally unaffected by the rapid pace of change. They have no idea. I fear this is only the start and they make no mention of Birmingham or Bolton last night

" you can have strong views about immigration "..?!? 😂😂😂
Yeah right ! But not in The Times / BBC / Mainstream Media. Unless you want to
lose your job . There is only ONE acceptable view permitted by the establishment !!

Elon mentioned this could become civil war

"Muslim men and women to feel safe" 😂 Did the religion of Peace bring peace? Has it ever?

Its almost as if Keith Starmer and his toadies cant stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny or something.,

Why is The Times spreading this kind of hate message? Mr Musk is free to air his thoughts, end of story. Just because the government don't like or want to hear this kind of conclusion, we should not be coerced into our own silence, or silencing people with an opinion. 'Far right' is a completely unqualified accusation that also falls under 'hateful rhetoric'. Starmer is not questioned on his way of sweeping issues under the carpet. People speaking about responsibilities of media platforms dismiss the neglected responsibilities, citizens, that governments seem to be betraying with contempt.

Musk has every right to reply in some form if Starmer has referenced his Social Platform in ongoing public statements.

You talk about echo chambers and bubbles of ideology. Stand back and look in the mirror. You're the biggest echo chamber going. COME AND LOOK CLOSELY IN THE ECONOMIC DEPRIVED AREAS INSTEAD PREACHING FROM YOUR IVORY TOWERS.

[jamessomers]

In the space of a week Starmer has declared war on people with an opinion, created a two tier police system and picked a fight with the richest man on the is an appalling politician. Totally out of his depth.

Why hasnt it happened in scotland? Scitland doesnt have 3 millipn muslims and doesnt receive the majority of immigration. Scotland has what 5 million people. England has received around a quarter of that population in immigration in the last few years alone!

[jimoconnor]

Starmer should wear his " Jim'll Fix It Badge "

[oldgreybeard]

Musky is such a decent human. Honest, decent and wise. In fact he is one of the greatest minds on the planet indeed since the dawn of man. Not a snake oil salesman at all. Not guilty of pumping and dumping. Not guilty of turning Twitter into a vile platform for hate speech. We are lucky to have such a man

[aquaboneus]

ahhh lookit- Starmer doesn't want anyone talking truth- especially someone on any level of power... sorry Starmer you are being exposed!!

[Lucerne]

Musk has communicated a clear message that many Britons have been trying hard to communicate for years, and ignored, even at the ballot box.

[jujutrini]

Jewish people have already had security and protection dealt with by the UK government. What is that guy on about!

[leoderbyshire]

He's just stating the obvious like hes some genius

[stephenhardwick]

On the plus side Starmer, will, till the end of time, be known as 'Two Tier Keir'. 🤣🤣🤣
