Uncategorized hanhchi — March 5, 2025 · 0 Comment The Tesla CEO and owner of X, formally known as Twitter, has been accused of “race-baiting” as his website remains a hub for misinformation Strictly Come Dancing star newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy took aim at X owner Elon Musk after the Tesla CEO was accused of ‘race baiting’ amid the UK far-right riots Krishnan Guru-Murthy didn’t hold back when talking about Elon Musk. The Tesla CEO and owner of X, formally known as Twitter, has been accused of “race-baiting” as his website remains a hub for misinformation. It was on X.com that allegations were first made about the individual accused of the horrific murders in Southport. Rumours circulated that the suspect was an immigrant named “Ali Al-Shakati” who supposedly arrived in the UK by boat last year. Eventually, it was revealed that Axel Rudakubana, a 17-year-old born in Cardiff and resident of Lancashire, was charged.

Musk also hit out at the prime minister Sir Keir Starmer, as well as repost an unverified clip of an “armed Muslim patrol” on their way to “attack journalists”. Reacting to Elon’s uploads amid riots across Britain, Krishnan asked: “Do you want to do an interview about this? You are causing a lot of waves here in Britain at a very dangerous time. “Anytime, anywhere. On @Channel4News and @X live.” It’s something viewers clearly want to see, with one writing: “Bravo Krishnan. Elon is pouring petrol on the flames of division. With that immense IQ…surely @elonmusk should know better. Perhaps he can explain to the rest of us why he would make such inflammatory comments.” While someone else said: “Elon isn’t interested in discussion or the truth He is interested in race baiting, escalating tensions and encouraging anarchy.” One BBC reporter had already asked Elon for an interview, writing on X: “I investigate social media at the BBC. You accuse the media of not holding power to account. I want to ask you questions about your site and its role fanning the flames of UK riots. Will you speak to me? @elonmusk.” This week, Elon lashed out at Keir Starmer once more, escalating his spat with the PM amid UK unrest. He’d shared a clip from a right-wing social media personality showing a group of Asian men in Birmingham on Monday. The men, who interrupted a Sky reporter’s broadcast, were at an anticipated far-right rally that ultimately didn’t happen. Musk questioned alongside the footage: “Why aren’t all communities protected in Britain? @Keir_Starmer.” The video was originally posted by Andy Ngo, a frequent guest on Fox News. The tech mogul also circulated a video that seemed to depict police detaining a man for “improper use of the electronic communications network”, captioning it: “Arrested for making comments on Facebook! Is this Britain or the Soviet Union? Is this accurate @CommunityNotes? ” This video was shared by an account named “The Vigilant Fox”.

A spokesman for Mr Starmer retorted: “There’s no justification for comments like that. We’re talking about a minority of thugs who don’t speak for Britain.” The X boss then hit back at a tweet from the PM stating the Government will “not tolerate attacks on mosques or Muslim communities”. Musk countered: “Shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on all communities? “.
