Downing Street Condemns Elon Musk’s Dangerous Language at London Far-Right Rally

Elon Musk faced widespread criticism from UK political leaders and Downing Street after appearing via video link at a far-right rally in London organized by Tommy Robinson, where he warned that "violence is coming" and urged the crowd to "fight back or die." His comments, which also called for an urgent change of government, were condemned as "dangerous and inflammatory" language that threatened violence and intimidation on British streets. The rally drew between 110,000 and 150,000 attendees and resulted in violence, with 26 police officers injured and multiple arrests. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other leaders emphasized that Britain is a nation built on tolerance, diversity, and respect, and condemned the use of violence and intimidation, reiterating the right to peaceful protest but rejecting any form of hate or assault. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey labeled Musk's rhetoric as irresponsible and selfish, while Downing Street stressed that the British public would not tolerate such divisive language. This event marks another instance of Musk's involvement in UK politics, following his previous social media criticisms of the government over grooming gangs.
