London, Sept. 14: Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk has called for a “dissolution of Parliament” and an immediate change of government in the UK, telling crowds at the far-right “Unite the Kingdom” rally that Britain “cannot wait another four years” for an election.
Speaking via video link to march leader Tommy Robinson, Musk urged what he described as the “reasonable centre” of the British public to recognise that “violence is going to come to you… You either fight back or you die.”
“My appeal is to British common sense, which is to look carefully around you and say “If this continues, what world will you be living in?” This is a message to the reasonable centre, the people who ordinarily wouldn’t get involved in politics, who just want to live their lives. They don’t want that, they’re quiet, they just go about their business. My message is to them: if this continues, that violence is going to come to you, you will have no choice,” he said.
The X owner linked his appeal to the killing of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which has been used as a rallying cry by organisers. He accused the left of being the “party of murder” and claimed activists were “celebrating [Kirk’s] death openly.”
‘There is so much violence on the left, with our friend Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, let that sink in for a minute, that’s who we’re dealing with here,’ he said.
Musk also alleged that Britons are “scared to exercise their free speech” and accused the BBC of being “complicit in the destruction of Britain.”
As the call ended, Robinson hailed Musk’s intervention, saying: “Not only are we in the fight right now, but we’re on the advance thanks to free speech being fought for, for us, by Elon Musk.”
The Metropolitan Police said an estimated 110,000 people packed central London on Saturday for the “Unite the Kingdom” march led by Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Waves of protesters carrying Union Jacks and St George’s flags moved from Waterloo Bridge toward Whitehall, where a stage was set for speeches.
In contrast, a counter-protest organised by Stand Up to Racism drew around 5,000 people, according to police. Led by a Women Against the Far Right bloc and joined by MPs Zarah Sultana and Diane Abbott, demonstrators marched from Russell Square toward Whitehall, rallying under banners rejecting Robinson’s message and defending migrants and minorities.-Agencies
