UK disorder: What's Elon Musk's game?
AI summary of the linked articleElon Musk is increasingly weighing in openly on the unrest in the UK, and BBC disinformation correspondent Marianna Spring writes that nobody is sure what his game plan is. Following riots after the murder of three girls in Southport, Musk replied to a post by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson), suggested "civil war is inevitable", which the prime minister's spokesperson said had "no justification", and questioned whether Starmer should be concerned about attacks on "all" communities. Spring notes that false claims about the Southport suspect spread widely on X, much of it amplified by blue-tick accounts, and that Musk, with 193 million followers, has been interacting with some of them. The article reports that Musk did not respond to the BBC's interview requests. |
