LONDON (Jan 2026) — Elon Musk has accused the UK government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer of “fascism,” claiming free speech is being suppressed through arrests over online posts. He cited over 12,000 arrests in a year under laws targeting “grossly offensive” messages.
The UK government rejected the claim, saying the laws protect people—especially women and children—from online abuse. Regulators are investigating X and its AI chatbot Grok over generating illegal deepfake content. Starmer warned platforms must control harmful AI output or face penalties.
The dispute has reignited debate over free speech vs online safety, with global attention on how governments should regulate AI and social media.
