Even though he poses as something else, he is now part of a global network of the far right, a global network of billionaires like Elon Musk who want to take away people's rights, take away people's freedoms, and we need to have that argument."
"Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die, that's the truth, I think."
"He called for the overthrow of our government. He incited violence on our streets. His platform, X, promotes disinformation. He's a dangerous person."
"The time is approaching where we've got to all examine whether we should, en masse, withdraw from it and for there to be a different platform, he said."
Elon Musk is portrayed as part of a global far-right billionaire network alongside Nigel Farage that aims to remove people's rights and freedoms. Musk bought Twitter in 2022, rebranded it as X, and has been criticised for failing to tackle misinformation and for sharing fake news. Musk appeared by video at a London far-right rally organised by Tommy Robinson and called for a change of government while warning that violence is coming and urging people to fight back. Calls have emerged to consider mass withdrawal from X and to create alternative platforms; some politicians have already left the site.
