Continuing his campaign against the British government of Labour Party, billionaire Elon Musk has called for the imprisonment of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

In recent weeks, Musk, the world’s richest person, has turned his attention to the United Kingdom where he has unleashed his regime-change designs. Previously, he had vowed to oust Justin Trudeau in Canada and put his weight behind neo-Nazis of far-right AfD in Germany. He was also critical in the victory of Donald Trump in the 2020 US presidential election.

After supporting the far-right movement in the UK throughout 2024 and putting his weight behind anti-immigrant, far-right party Reform UK, Musk has now raked the issue of ‘grooming gangs’ in the UK, which have been accused over the years of systematically grooming, abusing, and assaulting girls sexually.

Often, such grooming gangs comprised Pakistan-origin men and British authorities have been criticised over the years for not acting tough on them over fears of appearing as racist or being accused of Islamophobia. While the issue is real, Musk has politicised it in recent weeks as the latest weapon to attack Starmer — whose ouster he has sought repeatedly over the past year.

Sharing a post alleging that three girls “were kiIIed by a Muslim with a knife in England but for Keir Starmer the problem is Islamophobia”, Musk said: “Prison for Starmer.”

In another post, Musk said “Starmer is complicit in the crimes”. In another post, he said “millions of rapes” were committed.

In another post, Musk yet again made his intention to topple the British government clear. He posted: “Starmer must go. He is national embarrassment.”

Musk has resorted to falsehoods to drive his regime-change operation in the UK, claiming that a far-right, anti-Muslim activist, Tommy Robinson, was jailed “for telling the truth” about grooming gangs. Instead, he was jailed for contempt of court. He had previously been jailed for passport fraud, mortgage fraud, and assaulting a policeperson. He had also been held responsible for stalking a woman journalist. In 2011, he had issued public threats against Muslims.

“I’d personally send every adult male Muslim that has come into the EU over the past 12 months back tomorrow if I could,” said Robinson, according to NBC News.

Robinson is so extremist that even Nigel Farage, the leader of far-right Reform UK, has denounced him. After Farage denounced Robinson, Musk trained his guns at Farage, whom he had previously seen as an ally in his quest to topple Starmer’s government. The two had met last month and entered into talks for a donation, reportedly to the tune $100 million, to the Reform UK.

After Farage rightly said that Robinson was in jail for contempt of court and added he was not welcome in his party, Musk said: “The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes.”

Musk raking up the ‘grooming gangs’ issue is the latest chapter in his efforts to topple Starmer’s government and establish control over British polity. Last year, he had threatened the Starmer government with a civil war.

In a statement that forced the British Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to respond, Musk said that a “civil war is inevitable” in the UK. The PMO said there was “no justification” for the comment.

As Starmer last year cracked down on far-right, anti-immigrant riots, Musk dubbed the UK under Starmer as “Soviet Union”.

In yet another statement of his intention to oust Starmer, he said in a post that the UK “absolutely” needs Farage’s Reform UK party at the helm.
