Elon Musk, the owner of social media X, has again accused the UK of being a "tyranny police state."

Musk wrote in his X on the 25th local time, "A petition calling for a new general election in the UK has received 1 million signatures. "The British people have had enough of a tyrannical police state," he wrote, sharing that "people are tired of a socialist tyrannical police state."

Musk previously shared a post about a drop in the approval rating of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who leads the Labour Party, and commented that "the voice of the people is a great antidote."

Musk has publicly clashed with the Starmer government over anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim violence protests in the UK from late July to August.

At the time, Musk sympathized with online content related to the protests by posting exclamation points or comments, posting videos showing violence on the streets, and adding that "civil war is inevitable."

The Starmer government pointed to the spread of rumors and incitement of violence through social media as the main reason for the spread of violence, and criticized tech companies for being responsible.

On the 20th of this month, the U.K. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Innovation and Technology launched an official investigation into the impact of social media on the violence.Chairman

Chi Onura has called Musk and other high-level Big Tech executives to announce they will hear an explanation of the impact social media has had on the violence in the UK.

However, Musk has not indicated his intention to attend.
