UK Knocks Musk for ‘Civil War’ Comment Amid Nationwide Riots

The U.K.’s 10 Downing Street has hit back at Elon Musk’s comments over violent unrest in Northern England and pushed back on his statement that “civil war is inevitable”.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s spokesperson responded to the comment Monday, saying that there was “no justification” for those remarks.

Starmer convened an emergency response meeting Monday after violence across multiple cities that he blamed on far-right activists and misinformation on social media.

But Musk criticized Starmer on Monday over his statement on ensuring the safety of Muslim communities and mosques in the U.K.

The X CEO replied to Starmer’s post, asking, “shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on *all* communities?”
