"Connecting" the London right-wing rally, Musk declared "either fight back or die," urging "dissolve the UK Parliament and hold new elections."

Recently, Musk made a rare direct intervention in British politics via video link.

According to Global Network, over 100,000 people participated in an anti-immigration protest in London on Saturday (13th), during which protesters clashed with police, resulting in 26 police officers injured and at least 25 arrests.

While speaking at the rally named "Unite the Kingdom," Musk warned the tens of thousands of attendees, he claimed "violence is coming," and urged the audience to "either fight back or die." This rally was organized by British right-wing activist Tommy Robinson and is reported to be one of the largest nationalist events in the UK in decades.

Musk stated, "I think the UK must change its government," emphasizing that the UK "does not have the next four years... it's too long." He directly called for:

"Parliament must be dissolved, and new elections must be held."

"Parliament must be dissolved"

In a video link with event organizer Tommy Robinson, Musk clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the current UK government and called for immediate action. He believes that waiting for the next scheduled election cycle is too long to address what he sees as urgent issues.

Musk addressed the crowd in central London:

"My appeal is to the common sense of the British people, take a good look around you, and then ask yourself: 'What kind of world will you live in if this continues?'"

Musk used incendiary language in his speech, positioning his message as one directed at "rational moderates" and ordinary people who "usually do not engage in politics." He warned that if the status quo persists, violence will be inevitable.

Musk stated:

"My message is for them: If this continues, violence will come to you, and you will have no choice. Whether you choose violence or not, violence will find you. You either fight back or die; I think that's a fact."

The "vicious cycle" of political violence and the deepening social rift

It is noteworthy that Musk pointed his criticism directly at the political left. He cited the death of Charlie Kirk, saying:

"The left has too much violence; our friend Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered this week, and leftists openly celebrated it. The left is a party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, think about it carefully; this is who we are facing." The United States is experiencing "the longest period of political violence since the 1970s." According to CCTV News, the governor of Utah and the FBI director confirmed on the 12th local time that a suspect has been arrested in connection with the attempted assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and political ally of President Trump. The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Washington County, Utah, is currently held in a Utah prison awaiting prosecution. Robinson is not a student at Utah Valley University, the site of the incident, and his residence is hundreds of kilometers away from the school.

Multiple media outlets have pointed out that Kirk's attack and death indicate that political violence is becoming increasingly common in the United States. Kirk's death may further exacerbate the existing divisions in the U.S., leading to more incidents of political violence. The country seems to have fallen into a "vicious cycle."

Time magazine summarized in its cover article that Kirk's death "is not an isolated incident, but a characteristic of our increasingly dangerous national politics," and warned that "our country is essentially a powder keg ready to explode."

Musk also criticized what he called the "woke mind virus" and stated that promotion decisions should be based on performance rather than "discrimination based on gender, religion, any race, or anything else."

Not the First Involvement in British Politics

According to media reports, this is not Musk's first involvement in British political affairs. He previously had a verbal clash with the UK government over the issue of "grooming gangs" and criticized the Online Safety Bill passed in the UK in 2023, claiming that the bill poses a threat to free speech.

Musk had a close relationship with Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform Party in the UK. However, it was reported that during a controversy regarding Farage's support for Tommy Robinson, Musk called for the replacement of the Reform Party leader.

Media reports estimate that over 110,000 people attended the rally, while about 5,000 anti-racism protesters held a counter-protest. In addition to Musk, others invited to speak at the event included Katie Hopkins and French right-wing politician Éric Zemmour
