Musk Accused of 'Driving Unrest' on Social Media After Belfast Stabbing

British leaders say Musk’s posts on X helped spread unrest that left 27 people homeless and prompted rioting across Belfast.

  • Elon Musk used his X platform to amplify far-right calls for repeated protests and shared anti-immigrant messages amid the Belfast unrest.

  • Musk has a history of promoting far-right causes on X, including restoring banned accounts and supporting hard-right political parties and individuals linked to racism and conspiracy theories in various countries.
