Billionaire and far-right influencer Elon Musk has claimed that Muslim immigration to the UK means there will be a "reckoning" in the near future, implying a threat of civil war in the country. “If people are coming to a country with antithetical views, I am against that,” he said in response. When pushed by Zanny Minton Beddoes on past comments suggesting "civil war" was "inevitable" in the UK, Musk said that it was "on the current trend". "You have painted Europe and the UK as overrun with terrifying Muslim immigrants, there's rape on every corner, there's civilisational destruction." Business Insider, which reported the story, reported that Musk had said there was "a lot more to this story".
