Elon Musk Sparks Outrage in UK With Anti-Immigrant Rally Speech

LONDON — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has strongly condemned U.S. billionaire Elon Musk after he delivered a fiery speech at a mass anti-immigration rally in the United Kingdom, accusing him of using “dangerous and inflammatory language.”

The rally, held on Saturday, was the largest of its kind in Britain in recent years. Addressing the crowd, Musk called for the dissolution of the UK Parliament and demanded the removal of Starmer’s left-leaning government. At one point, he told demonstrators, “You must either fight or die,” a remark widely criticized as incitement to violence.

Musk’s address was broadcast live on television, drawing immediate backlash from political leaders and civil society groups. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister said the UK is a “fair, tolerant and civil society” and stressed that Britons reject rhetoric that carries threats or signals of violence.

Observers note that Musk’s comments echo the hardline immigration stance seen in the United States under President Donald Trump, as well as the rise of right-wing populist movements across parts of Europe. Analysts warn that such rhetoric could further inflame tensions in British society already grappling with debates over immigration and integration.
