The allegations against Elon Musk by the British Prime Minister were made in the context of escalating protests related to the case of male student Henry Nowak.
Speaking after a meeting with mayors, Mr. Keir Starmer said that the country needs to clearly show its identity when Mr. Elon Musk seeks to interfere in politics and incite division. The British leader emphasized that the British people are rational and tolerant, and called for a calm response to Henry Nowak's incident.
Mr. Keir Starmer said he had met with Henry Nowak's family in London to discuss how to handle the violations of the Hampshire police.
The British Prime Minister said he was very moved after the meeting and pledged to take all necessary actions to overcome the mistakes related to the incident.
The British Prime Minister's spokesman then affirmed that the government was not targeting any specific posts by Elon Musk, but was concerned about the general tone in the content related to the case.
Henry Nowak, 18, was stabbed on his way home on December 3, 2025. Suspect Vickrum Digwa testified that he was ramed and attacked by Henry Nowak first. According to published information, Hampshire police handcuffed Henry Nowak while the victim was dying, ignoring calls for help that he was stabbed and unable to breathe.
After investigation, Vickrum Digwa was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, with a minimum sentence of 21 years before being considered for amnesty.
Images related to the case have been circulating on social network X for months, causing public outrage. Mr. Elon Musk has repeatedly argued that the incident reflects the existence of anti-white prejudice in Britain. The billionaire also proposed funding a private prosecution against the Hampshire police force.
The UK police surveillance agency is investigating the actions of officers involved in the handcuffing of Henry Nowak. Meanwhile, many posts on social media have misidentified the police officers involved. A former police officer is said to have been hiding after receiving life-threatening threats.
The Hampshire Police Federation announced a temporary suspension of operations on social media due to serious threats targeting members of the organization.
Tensions continued to escalate as 11 police officers and a police dog were injured in clashes in Southampton, where crowds involving far-right elements attacked security forces during a protest related to the death of Henry Nowak.
This is not the first time Mr. Elon Musk has been involved in controversy in the UK. Last year, the American billionaire publicly criticized the British government for child abuse gangs and supported activist Tommy Robinson. At that time, Mr. Keir Starmer accused Mr. Elon Musk of spreading false information.
