UK riot: PM Starmer, Elon Musk disagree over civil war remarks

Elon Musk and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have clashed after the tech boss claimed Britain was heading for civil war.

The billionaire owner of the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, provoked a row with Downing Street over the riots that have engulfed UK cities amid accusations that social media is fuelling the unrest.

In a comment on his social media site about the violence, Musk said “civil war is inevitable” – a remark that was explicitly rejected by Starmer’s official spokesman, who said there was “no justification” for it.

Musk then replied to a post on X by Starmer, questioning the prime minister’s decision to provide extra protection for mosques.
