UK Targeting Elon Musk Again: "Risk to Britain"

Elon Musk isn't a "risk to Britain." But he sure is a risk to the British political elite, and they are putting their top people on the job to find a way to shut his mouth (or break his keyboard).

It is a really remarkable turn of events, or perhaps I should say it SHOULD be remarkable, but we are talking about the people across the pond who seem to have gone bats**t crazy when it comes to any speech that isn't preapproved by the powers that be. 

In Great Britain, forcing people to repeat the government line on every issue has reached Stasi-level fanaticism. 

As I wrote yesterday, the EU had 150 (yes, 150!!) bureaucrats tasked with looking for ways to go after Musk because he had a conversation online with the AfD leader, and now we learn that the UK is tasking "counter-extremism" experts to evaluate Musk's speech's risk to the nation of Britain.

Musk points out that it is seen as a bigger crime to speak about the rape gangs than to be a rapist is beyond the pale. If he lived in Britain, he would surely be in jail, and that is not hyperbole. UK police have said as much. 

They should look at their streets, where Islamists are running amok, raping English girls, and proclaiming--openly--their intent to take over the country and impose Sharia law. 

Facing the truth is too horrible, so the transnational elite, including Britain's Labour Party, are trying to bury it. As long as nobody sees it, it can't be happening. That's why the UK Parliament voted not to do an inquiry into the rape gangs scandal; if you don't see it, it didn't happen. 

The Mirror understands the Home Office has stepped up extra monitoring to assess content and the reach of what is being shared on social media site X, especially in relation to accounts with large followings - including Mr Musk's. The counterterrorism unit has been involved in content analysis and wider risk assessment.

The unit sits within the Homeland Security Group, whose “mission is to reduce national security risks to the UK’s people, prosperity and freedoms”. “It focuses on the highest harm risks to the homeland, whether from terrorists, state actors, or cyber and economic criminals,” according to the official government website.

Musk, by typing on X, is a terrorist threat in their eyes. This, you would think, is absurd, but he is under the gaze of the Counterterrorism Unit. 

The Brits sure know how to protect their homeland. Open the borders, flood the country with barbarians who view women as chattel, and prosecute the people who dare to notice and speak up. 

"Both the behaviour of Mr Musk himself and the platform that he has created, and the levels of toxicity on that platform have already contributed to extreme violence on the streets of Britain, and there is a strong chance as we've seen time and time again, that when you allow these online spaces to become this extreme and this toxic, people go and kill people."

We see all the knife crime in Britain, the growing antisemitism, the government covering up horrific crimes, open borders, London turning into Londonistan, and the police only seeming to arrest and punish people who object. 

Yesterday I wrote in a VIP piece about a UK threat to end the "special relationship" and security partnership between the US and the UK over Musk's comments. I would hate to see that happen, but I would prefer a break with Britain to bowing down to their attacks on the right to free speech in America.

If European countries become tyrannical, why should we treat them any differently than any other authoritarian regime? If they act like Iran, treat them like Iran. 

If Elon Musk is classified as a terrorist, I guess we all are. Luckily, as far as I know, Britain isn't a drone superpower.
