Why Musk is taking on Starmer over far-right riots

The Independent  

Elon Musk is now an expert on London’s ugly riots. According to the businessman turned leading authority on world affairs in places he’s probably never visited, it is now “inevitable” that the UK is headed for “civil war”. He’s also been trolling prime minister Keir Starmer about the Rotherham grooming gang scandal, and even implied that communities are treated differently under so-called “two-tier policing”. Using his own platform to post a series of increasingly bizarre comments, Musk replied to Starmer’s assertion that what’s been happening “is not protest” but is in fact “pure violence”. To which Musk challenged: “Shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on *all* communities?” The only thing inevitable was the public backlash as well-meaning figures weighed in, presumably shocked and appalled by the implications.
