UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticises Elon Musk, owner of X, saying the US tech billionaire is “trying to whip up division” in Britain following a high-profile student murder case. According to multiple reports, Musk makes several posts on X that question and comment on the police response to the killing. Starmer’s comments come as public anger continues over how police handled the murder of a white student, including scrutiny around the investigation and policing decisions. Reports say Musk’s posts include allegations or insinuations that police policy is biased, with some coverage describing his questioning of whether police actions reflect racism toward white people. Starmer tells Musk to stop creating “further division, hatred or tension,” framing the online commentary as unhelpful amid a sensitive and ongoing controversy. The accounts do not indicate that Starmer challenges the facts of the murder itself, but focus on the effect of Musk’s social media activity on public debate and tensions. Musk’s posts are described across outlets as repeatedly raising concerns about policing and the case’s handling, prompting Starmer’s public intervention.
