Prepare for revolution now, Elon Musk tells London rally as police come under attack

US tech billionaire calls for downfall of Labour government in speech to 110,000 marchers at Robinson's Unite the Kingdom protest
As police in full riot gear fought to push back violent protesters on the fringes of Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom rally in London yesterday, the richest man in the world told the crowd that they must prepare to fight.
Elon Musk’s image was beamed on to huge screens dotted along Whitehall as he spoke to Robinson and the gathered demonstrators, calling for “revolutionary government change”.
“Fight for your futures!” he told the crowd as the former leader of the English Defence League roused them.
Riot police were beaten and pelted with flares and bottles on the outskirts of the rally as an estimated 110,000 people flooded Whitehall and the surrounding streets.
Tech billionaire Musk’s appearance was a surprise. As he spoke to Robinson via video link, he painted a picture of violence-riven Britain, where people in villages were at risk of rape and murder and the government was trying to cover up crimes against children.
After saying that he wanted to see a UK where people “wake up and look forward to the future”, Musk went on: “We must have revolutionary government change for that to occur. And this is not ordinary-course-of-business sort of stuff.
“This really requires everyone to sort of marshal the people, to take charge and reform the government, and make sure the government is for the people, by the people.”
The SpaceX and Tesla founder made a series of allegations about the country and its government, claiming that “the left was the party of murder”, the BBC was “complicit in the destruction of Britain” and that the government “did not care about the people”.
Musk, who last visited the UK in November 2023, said: “I really think that there’s got to be a change of government in Britain. You can’t - we don’t have another four years, or whenever the next election is, it’s too long.
“Something’s got to be done. There's got to be a dissolution of parliament and a new vote held.”

This is the moment to redefine royalty
European monarchies are hardy institutions, survivors of almost every calamity. Spain’s King Juan Carlos, for example, was forced to abdicate in 2014 over sexual infidelity and financial chicanery that should have overwhelmed him and his office.
