Tesla CEO Elon Musk has urged King Charles III to depose the United Kingdom’s Labour government.
Musk has been criticizing the Labour government for days, but he reached a fever pitch this week when he expressed outrage at the government’s handling of the mostly-Pakistani rape gangs that have victimized thousands of white British girls over the years.
On Friday, just after midnight, he issued his most drastic statement yet, agreeing to a post urging King Charles III to intervene and dissolve the government.
“Who agrees that the KING should dissolve Parliament and call a general election for the sake of the country’s security? “The King must act before it’s too late!” Musk responded, “Yes,” to what user Benonwine had said.
The king’s power to dissolve parliament is debatable. According to Milners Solicitors, a British legal firm, the king technically has the authority to dissolve parliament, but this power has never been used in modern history.
This would almost certainly result in a constitutional crisis, which could lead to Charles III’s abdication or the end of the monarchy. British monarchs are largely apolitical, rarely commenting on political issues.
Though a prime minister must seek their approval to dissolve parliament, the process is regarded primarily as a formality.
The last time a British monarch unilaterally dissolved parliament was King William IV in 1831. Since then, decorum and the law have significantly reduced the monarch’s power.
Aside from his calls for the king to intervene, Musk’s rhetoric increased dramatically on Friday.
He referred to Labour Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips as a “rape genocide apologist” and accused Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer of complicity in the United Kingdom’s “RAPE”.
“Starmer was complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN during his six-year tenure as head of Crown Prosecutions. “Starmer must go, and he must face charges for his role in the worst mass crime in British history,” Musk stated.
In the last week, X has erupted over discussions of Pakistani child rape gangs that have been active in the United Kingdom for decades.
Though the scope of the problem had been known since the 2010s, a new firestorm erupted when the Labour government denied the city of Oldham’s request for a Home Office-led investigation into the historic abuse, sparking accusations of complicity.
The groups targeted and gang-raped white British girls as young as 11, as well as torturing, threatening, drugging, and murdering them.
The 14-year-old victim was allegedly ground into kebab meat. The survivors reported that they had been subjected to repeated racial abuse.
Musk began posting about the scandal on Wednesday, but retweeted other accounts that had been discussing it for days.
His first post on the subject came early Wednesday morning, quoting Telegraph columnist Sam Ashworth-Hayes, who was quoting a report detailing how fathers who attempted to rescue their daughters from houses where gangs imprisoned them were arrested rather than the gangs.
He threw his support behind Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, whom he met at Mar-a-Lago last month.
The Labour government, concerned that Musk could have a significant impact, is looking for ways to limit his influence. It has considered taking additional steps to prevent foreign figures from making large political donations, according to the Wall Street Journal.
