Former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf said Elon Musk should be clamped down on because he has criticised the UK’s response to current social unrest between white residents and immigrants, calling Musk a “dangerous” person.
Musk and many others in Britain and abroad say the government’s handling of the unrest has exposed a dual justice system and is causing further friction on the island, and he warned that civil war is all but certain if the new Liberal-led government continues to act in this way.
“Think before you post.”
“When it comes to Elon Musk, I believe he is one of the most dangerous men on the planet. He has used his billions of dollars, is not accountable to anyone and spreads far-right white supremacist ideology. As you correctly said, I believe he has threatened and hoped for civil war in parts of Europe, including the UK,” Yousaf told CNN.
“Instead of using X as a platform for good, and using his enormous wealth for good, I think he’s using it for the darkest evil imaginable,” he continued. “And in terms of regulation, this is something that the chancellor, Keir Starmer, needs to think hard about what more he needs to do going forward. We need better regulation to ensure that the kind of misinformation that was rampant last week doesn’t continue to run rampant and have devastating consequences.”
The British government has vowed to use the full force of the law against those who take part in violent acts as well as those who share social media posts deemed to be spreading misinformation or “hate”.
On X, UK.gov shared a post from the Crown Prosecution Service warning against such behaviour, with the caption “Think before you post.”
The riots in the UK began in the aftermath of the gang stabbing death of three girls in Southport by 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana. The initial reaction to the incident was anti-immigration protests, but far-left riots also broke out as rumors spread of “far-right” rallies planned in different parts of the country.
