Elon Musk, the tech mogul billionaire, has doubled down on his claim that “the left is the party of murder.” Musk has warned tens of thousands of protesters at the Unite the Kingdom rally in London that “violence is coming to you.”
Musk made reference to the assassination of conservative Christian nationalist Charlie Kirk in Utah earlier this week. “There’s so much violence on the left, with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood, and people on the left celebrating it openly,” he said. “The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder.”
“Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you,” he said. “You either fight back or you die.”
Musk had been addressing the gathering via video link at the event organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson on Saturday. Musk directed his message not just to those present but also to the “reasonable center, the people who ordinarily wouldn’t get involved in politics, who just want to live their lives.”

The X owner and Tesla CEO also railed against what he described as the “woke mind virus,” claiming it is “super-racist, super-sexist, and often anti-religion – but only anti-Christian.” He called for advancement to be based on merit “rather than discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, race, or anything else.”
Police said 24 people were arrested for assault and violent disorder after 26 officers were injured in clashes with the protestors.
Musk also appeared to call for his own version of the “political violence” that the right is currently blasting. He called for the “dissolution of Parliament” and an early election in the UK, arguing that the current government has failed to protect the British public. “We don’t have another four years,” he said. “Something’s got to be done,” he added to a roaring crowd.
Both the United States and the UK seem to be tiptoeing toward Civil War. Although it seems unlikely that another Civil War will erupt, the rhetoric is likely to intensify in the coming days and remain unsettled. What do you think? How far is this going to go? Discuss your opinions in the comments!
