Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has accused Elon Musk of committing crimes in the UK, citing both the spread of harmful content on X (formerly Twitter) and Musk’s appearance at a far-right rally in London. Speaking on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Davey said Musk’s platform enables child sexual abuse material, grooming, and videos promoting self-harm—violations that fall under the UK’s Online Safety Act, which holds tech executives criminally liable for failing to protect children. Davey also condemned Musk’s video appearance at the Unite the Kingdom rally, organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, where Musk declared:
“Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die.”

Davey described Musk’s rhetoric as criminal incitement to violence, particularly in light of the rally’s outcome: 26 police officers injured, including four seriously, and 24 arrests made on the day. The Lib Dem leader previously suggested that Elon Musk should be barred from entering the UK as personna non grata for he his remarks and assosiation with far-right agitator Tommy Robinson

Assassination Threat at Rally
During the rally, a man was filmed calling for the assassination of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, stating “Keir Starmer needs to be assassinated” and “someone needs to shoot Keir Starmer.” The Metropolitan Police confirmed that a 56-year-old man was arrested the following day on suspicion of malicious communications. He was taken into custody and later released on bail pending further inquiries.
The Met has indicated that up to 50 more arrests are expected as investigations continue into violent disorder and public order offences linked to the event.
