Elon Musk shared a fake Telegraph article claiming Keir Starmer was considering sending far-right rioters to “emergency detainment camps” in the Falklands.
Musk deleted his post after about 30 minutes but a screenshot captured by Politics.co.uk suggests it had garnered nearly two million views before it was deleted.
In it, Musk shared the image posted by the co-leader of the far-right group Britain First, Ashlea Simon, which she captioned with, “we’re all being deported to the Falklands”.
“Just a joke” is always the refrain when people call out this brand of nonsense. Drives me mad
It’s like when people say “no offense but” and then continue with something offensive. Just because you say no offense, it doesn’t make it not offensive.
With all due respect, you’re a piece of shit
That one is fine though - the recipient may not be due any respect.
No offense but you look like the kind of person who enjoys dipping their fries in soda before eating them.
Haha! Isn’t spreading misinformation and propaganda hilarious! LOL!
The government in the UK should buy some space in the Sun and publish an article how the convicted pedophile Musk is found to have a torture chamber in the German Tesla factory and that kind of shit. When Musk inevitably goes ballistic just say it was a joke, then repeat.
He seems to forget that a joke has to be funny.
