"Downing Street has criticised comments by Elon Musk who posted on X that
“civil war is inevitable” under a video of violent riots in Liverpool.
Keir Starmer’s spokesperson said the violence came from a small minority of
people who “do not speak for Britain” and said the prime minister did not share
the sentiments of the billionaire, who has previously been criticised for
allowing far-right figures back on to his social media platform.
“There’s no justification for comments like that,” the spokesperson said. “What
we’ve seen in this country is organised, violent thuggery that has no place,
either on our streets or online.
“We’re talking about a minority of thugs that do not speak for Britain, and in
response to it, we’ve seen some of the best of our communities coming out and
cleaning up the mess [and] the disruption of those that don’t speak for our
country, and we’ve seen the response for people that do speak for our country.
I think you can tell from that that the prime minister does not share those
sentiments.”"
