UK Government Warns Elon Musk on Civil War Remarks
News summary

The British government has called on Elon Musk to use his platform X responsibly amid violent unrest across the UK, which has been exacerbated by his inflammatory comments, including a declaration that 'civil war is inevitable.' Justice Minister Heidi Alexander condemned such language as unacceptable, emphasizing the impact of misinformation that has fueled anti-immigrant and Islamophobic riots following a tragic knife attack that killed three girls. Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the riots as 'far-right thuggery' and announced increased police presence to restore order, while also urging social media companies to combat the spread of false information. The unrest, which has led to over 400 arrests, was ignited by misleading claims regarding the identity of the attack's suspect. The government is considering strengthening the Online Safety Act to better regulate online content. Musk's continued engagement in the debate has drawn criticism for allowing disinformation to flourish.
