At the “Unite the Kingdom” rally, Elon Musk via video link urged dissolution of Parliament and change of government, accusing Keir Starmer’s administration of eroding freedom and safety
Elon Musk addressed a rally in London via video link on Saturday, calling for the dissolution of Parliament and a new government in the United Kingdom.
The “Unite the Kingdom” demonstration was organised by social and pro democracy activist Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), and drew a crowd estimated at over one hundred and ten thousand people.
Speaking to the assembled thousands, Musk warned that violence was coming and condemned what he called Britain’s “woke mindset”.
“You either fight back or you die,” he told the crowd.
He said that waiting until the next election would be too long, and insisted that Britain cannot endure another four years under its current leadership.
Musk has long been a vocal critic of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, particularly accusing his government of suppressing free speech through legislation like the Online Safety Act and mishandling issues such as grooming gangs.
At the rally he extended that criticism, portraying Starmer’s administration as a threat to civil liberties and national integrity.
The rally included a strong pro-democracy theme and nationalist imagery.
Protesters carried Union Jack and St. George’s flags, and many in the crowd echoed Musk’s call for immediate political change.
The event is being interpreted by supporters as evidence of a growing movement dissatisfied with what they view as undemocratic policies and elitist silencing of ordinary voices under Starmer’s government.
Business Secretary Peter Kyle condemned Musk’s remarks as inappropriate, while Keir Starmer dismissed the protesters as enemies of the state, further underscoring accusations that his leadership seeks to silence dissent and weaken democratic expression.
