Elon Musk has ramped up his row with the UK as he branded the prime minister “two-tier Keir” and questioned if it was “Britain or the Soviet Union” after a man was apparently arrested over Facebook comments.
The billionaire owner of X has been engaged in a war of words with Sir Keir Starmer over riots gripping the UK, amid concerns online disinformation is fuelling the unrest.
In his latest rebuke, Musk reposted a video appearing to show police officers arresting a man for making offensive comments on Facebook.
“Arrested for making comments on Facebook!,” Musk wrote on X.
“Is this Britain or the Soviet Union? Is this accurate @Community Notes.”

Something tells me that if people were “making comments on Facebook” inciting violence toward billionaires or Republicans he’d change his tune.
