Elon Musk role in UK's anti-migrant riots utterly irresponsible, am really shocked-Former FT Editor

[@daveisbrill]

Who do you think is responsible for every single major problem this country is facing? Hint: its not Musk.

[@rolandhawken6628]

Mate I think you will have to spell it out for them . Elon is entitled to an opinion an opinion I agree with and have been saying for 2 decades once you have a 2 tier police force , uncheck mass immigration, literally the country is being invaded , then the worse problem the never ending downward decline of the economy . Then it gets worse the government is not listening to the people , I can't see any other outcome other than civil war . I hope I am wrong

It looks like Britain does not want to become an Islamic nation but wants to remain a secular nation. Secular laws can be against any religion including Islam. For example, in a secular nation people can criticize any religion or religious figures. But the problem with some religions is that they don't allow criticism of their religion or religious figures or prophets. Thus, they deny the freedom to critically examine their religion and its founder/s and practitioners too. Thus,free, liberal, democratic Western civilization and secular societies are being affected now by radical Islam and thus their policies are being revised. Migrants to other nations must need to be able to fit in with the cultural values of those nations otherwise better not to migrate to them. Thank you

Talking about it gives him more coverage. Most of the coverage so far has been disingenuous. Elon made an observation. He did not call for or advocate for civil unrest. He blew a whistle of warning. And anyone implying he did anything else is being disengenuous. But he did make a point whether it is valid or not,l should be the topoc of discussion, not Elon. What is the trajectory of the unrest? How much worse will it get before it gets better? Who is going to take responsibility and sort it out? locking people up for rioting is valid. But there are lots of people who are not rioting who also have concerns, and who is defusing those concerns? People on all sides dont want to worry about their kids being harmed no matter who is doing it or what the reason is, do they? That it has become a concern for anyone for any reason is not a move in the right direction, is it?
