Keir Starmer has leveled accusations against Elon Musk for attempting to sow discord in the UK following the tragic killing of Henry Nowak.

The Prime Minister criticized the tech mogul, alleging his interference in British affairs once more amid heightened tensions over the handling of the 18-year-old victim’s death. Video footage captured officers restraining Nowak as he was dying, with his 23-year-old assailant, Vickrum Digwa, falsely asserting he was racially targeted by the student.

The incident has been exploited by Nigel Farage, with the PM accusing him of capitalizing on the tragedy.

In a recent statement, Mr. Starmer emphasized the need to reaffirm the national identity, denouncing Musk’s recent political interventions aimed at stoking division in the country.

Musk has been active on social media, sharing content questioning the West’s trajectory and highlighting what he perceives as a disparity in the response to Nowak’s killing compared to George Floyd’s death in 2020.

Floyd, an African American man, died at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, sparking global Black Lives Matter demonstrations advocating for racial justice. Both Floyd and Nowak reportedly pleaded for help as they struggled to breathe.

Musk inaccurately claimed mainstream media had largely ignored Nowak’s case on Tuesday, urging people to share a video illustrating the treatment of Nowak by the police and his attacker.
