On Sunday, Musk replied to a post about the riots on X, the social media platform he owns, stating:"Civil war is inevitable."Responding to a reporter's question on Monday on whether Starmer agreed with Musk's tweet, the PM's spokesperson said:"There is no justification for comments like that." Heidi Alexander, the U.K.'s courts minister, said in response to Musk's comments Tuesday that anyone with a platform on social media should"behave responsibly" with that platform, adding that language associating the riots with civil war is"totally unjustified."Peter Kyle, the U.K.'s technology minister, has held conversations with social media companies over the sharing of misinformation in relation to the riots.
However, Ofcom, the regulator tasked with enforcing the law, is unable to take action against social media firms for harmful posts inciting the ongoing riots, as not all the powers from the act have come into force yet.
