UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned *Elon Musk's* comments made during a virtual address at an anti-immigration rally in London, labeling them as "dangerous" and "inflammatory." Musk, the owner of X and Tesla, warned protesters that “violence is coming to you” and emphasized that they must "fight back or die." Starmer, addressing the unrest that ensued during the rally organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, affirmed the importance of peaceful protest in the UK, as violence was reported on the fringes of the protest, resulting in injuries to 26 police officers, according to LA Times and India Times.

Despite opposition calls to sanction Musk over his remarks, the UK government has resisted such measures, with Starmer’s spokesman stating, “The UK is a fair, tolerant and decent country, so the last thing that British people want is dangerous and inflammatory language which threatens violence and intimidation on our streets.” Critics, like Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, have urged Starmer and other leaders to publicly denounce Musk's remarks and block Tesla from receiving government contracts, according to India Times and SCMP.

The rally itself, which saw approximately 100,000 participants, featured speeches from various far-right politicians and influencers who voiced concerns over immigration, a politically charged issue in the UK. Musk's comments have been viewed as an attempt to incite further discord, especially considering his previous support of far-right figures in Europe, according to India Times and SCMP.

Starmer reiterated that while the right to peaceful protest is a core value, it must not lead to assaults on police officers or intimidation of individuals based on their backgrounds. The UK home secretary also condemned Musk’s remarks, referring to him as a "hostile billionaire" for urging confrontation against British democracy. In the face of increasing political tension regarding immigration, Starmer and other leaders are emphasizing the importance of promoting tolerance and respect in public discourse, according to LA Times and SCMP.
