Elon Musk has accused Sir Keir Starmer’s Government of being “fascist” after ministers stepped up threats to ban social media site X over AI-generated sexualised images.

The tech tycoon claimed critics of his X platform “want any excuse for censorship” as he appeared defiant despite the outcry over the use of the Grok artificial intelligence feature to create fake images of people, including children.

Responding to a chart showing arrest figures for online posts with the UK at the top, Mr Musk said: “Why is the UK government so fascist?”

    Why reporters don’t call him a fucking liar to his face when he says stuff like that is beyond me.

    If UK was fascist, Musk wouldn’t have any problems with that. the problem for Musk is that UK is NOT fascist, and want to limit the damage of his fascist Xitter platform. The X pronounced as sh much like the Chinese do.
    Musk has gone absolutely bonkers crazy, and is a flaming Nazi.

      Could be that he just always was this way, but the money gives him the impression he can just say and do whatever the fuck he wants now.

        Maybe he was, and he just was better at hiding it, but now his megalomania has made it unnecessary for him to hide it anymore in his own opinion?
        But if his self control has decreased, it also means he has become more insane, because he now lack the ability to control it.
        It seems clear that Musk is more insane now than when he became known for taking over Tesla.
