It was back in September that Elon Musk, the SpaceX owner and former head of US president Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) was condemned for claiming “massive uncontrolled migration” was contributing to the “destruction of Britain”, and that “violence is coming” and “you either fight back or you die”.

A month later, he took to social media to state that “civil war in Britain is inevitable” and that it is “just a question of when”.

However, despite painting a rather dystopian view of Britain in recent months, in a post to X/Twitter on Friday, the UK Home Office wrote: “Homicides in England and Wales have fallen to their lowest level in almost fifty years.”

And so, given Musk’s previous remarks on the state of British society, fellow X/Twitter users were quick to ridicule the Tesla boss’ stance:

The statistic comes just days after Musk sat down with Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist, for an interview which saw the journalist challenge the X/Twitter owner on his aforementioned claim that a “civil war in Britain is inevitable”.

“Yes, if current trends continue, it is,” he said. “If you have a large and growing – rapidly growing – group of people whose beliefs are antithetical to Western beliefs, at some point, there will be a reckoning.

“They will try to implement their views, and those who oppose it will oppose it, and that’s what you call civil war, and obviously, this is the trend.”

After Minton Beddoes referenced what she described as a “citizen vigilante film” promoted by Musk, the tech entrepreneur claimed there is “out-of-control” murder.

Elon Musk’s ‘civil war’ claims just got shut down by a single statistic

If there is some kind of violent conflict in the UK, you can bet your bottom trillion, Leon won't be donating a penny to either side. Just a <deleted>-stirrer for no reason except ego.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't bet against the guy with a $trillion and arguably the best big data collection, slicing and dicing system in the world.

Murder may be down, but how about rapes and petty crime and housing shortages, and all the other societal ills brought on by unvetted dinghy arrivals, most of them being military aged males from the 3rd world? With minimal technical job skills beyond aiming an AK47.

This forum has a dreadful record of making prophecies on Elon Musk.

Wasnt that long ago the usual suspects were in 100% agreement Twitter was going bust. Howd that one work out for you?

Lesson is listen to Musk, not irrational haters here if you want to be well informed. If Musk says Britain is headed to a civil war its probably worth listening to the man.

You mean the data on all Americans he illegally collected while he was head of the DOGE failure?

Domestic Perpetration: According to data collated by Rape Crisis England & Wales, over 90% of rape and sexual assault perpetrators are already known to their victims, and roughly half are committed by a current or former partner. This indicates that the vast majority of sexual violence is domestic rather than committed by strangers or transient populations.

have rapes in the uk increased as more migrants move to the uk? - Google Search

Maajid Nawaz's 2017 Quilliam Foundation report, Group Based Child Sexual Exploitation: Dissecting Grooming Gangs, found that 84% of convicted grooming gang offenders were of Asian heritage. You just have to look at the mugshots of the offenders in the newspapers when the stories come up with repeated regularity to see they're overrepresented in group-based exploitation.

When does this guy find time to work? Wait. He never actually worked until he came up with the god-awful design for the Cyberjunk-trunk, rejected by consumers as an absolute failure, then he got into politics.

Oh. 😭

Ate you one of them Musk ass kisses?

Sure, I will play along.

Elon Musk is right.

The UK will have a civil war.

In a few hundred years.

He's a...long term strategic thinker.

Not just another conman.

Let me guess Musk fan boys, FSD is right around the corner in two weeks?

Par-tay! 🥳

2015: Teslas would soon be able to drive from LA to New York autonomously within a couple years.

2016: Tesla claimed it's car could already drive itselt, “driver is only there for legal reasons”

2017: cross-country autonomous drive would happen by end of 2017

2018: “feature complete” soon

2019: robotaxis by 2020

2020: Level 5 autonomy “this year”

2021–2024: similar timelines, gradually shifting

For me.... it has been great and will be even greater when it does go bust!

Twitter is a great idea that has been turned into a nasty feedback loop of misinformation and defamation.

Twitter (now called X) has not produced a net profit since Elon Musk bought it. Instead, the company has faced large financial losses, lower advertising sales, and heavy debt costs following the $44 billion takeover in October 2022.

Financial Challenges Under Musk

• Declining Revenue: Annual revenue dropped from over $5 billion prior to the acquisition to roughly $2.7 billion in 2024, though 2025 showed signs of a minor stabilization.

• Advertiser Exodus: Major brands cut spending or left the platform due to changes in content moderation and verification rules.

• Debt and Interest: The buyout included roughly $13 billion in bank debt, creating high ongoing interest payments that add to net losses.

• Cost Cutting: Massive layoffs reduced operating expenses, but not enough to offset the drop in ad income and debt servicing

I don't dare to say I know how Musk thinks but when this popped up in my X account I admit to some surprise.

I just couldn't figure out how Musk could be in the USA and Nigeria at the same time.

But when this guy in Texas followed me, I guessed he has good taste.

Kev coming home drunk and strangling Sharon, his whiney wife, in Newcastle does not suggest civil war is imminent. Neither does Darnell stabbing Tariq due to a failed drug deal in Peckham.

Factionalism, societal polarization and a lack of cohesion in society are far better predictors of civil war than homicides, which are often the result of personal/domestic feuds.

The UK is a powder keg.

Not everyone thinks the UK is a powder keg.
