Elon Musk has once again made headlines in the UK — but this time not for technology or space exploration.
Instead, the billionaire entrepreneur waded into a heated political protest in London, blasting the British government and calling for sweeping change.
Speaking via videolink to demonstrators at Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” rally, Musk accused leaders in Westminster of failing their citizens and allowing what he described as the “erosion of Britain.”
Musk’s Stark Warning
In his address, the Tesla and SpaceX boss praised British identity but argued that the country is being “rapidly destroyed” by uncontrolled migration.
He accused the government of turning a blind eye to serious crimes, including the protection of children from exploitation.
Musk didn’t hold back when it came to politics either.
He suggested that the current Parliament should be dissolved and that a new government must be elected without waiting years for the next scheduled vote. “We don’t have another four years,” he warned.
Robinson Applauds Musk’s Intervention
Protest organiser Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, welcomed Musk’s comments as a boost to his movement.
Robinson told supporters that the billionaire’s willingness to speak out was helping keep the flame of free speech alive.
The rally, branded “Unite the Kingdom,” drew crowds to Stamford Street near London’s Waterloo Bridge before marching toward Whitehall.
Many attendees were draped in Union Jacks and England flags, with some holding images of U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot dead in Utah earlier this week.
A Divided London
The demonstration did not go unopposed. At the opposite end of Whitehall, anti-racism group Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) staged a counter-protest.
Police figures estimate that around 5,000 people attended the SUTR gathering, underscoring the sharp divisions surrounding immigration and nationalism in Britain.
With chants, banners, and heavy police presence, the day laid bare the growing tensions between nationalist movements and anti-racism campaigners in the capital.
What Comes Next?
Musk’s outspoken remarks will likely fuel debate about the role of high-profile figures in UK politics.
For supporters of Robinson, the tech billionaire’s intervention is seen as a powerful endorsement.
For critics, it raises concerns about foreign influence stoking domestic divisions.
As the protests and counter-protests continue, one thing is clear: the question of immigration and national identity remains one of the most volatile issues shaping Britain’s political future.
