US technology billionaire says Tommy Robinson ‘should be freed’ after serving an 18-month prison sentence.
Elon Musk has called for the release of jailed British far-right activist Tommy Robinson and criticized British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for his response to the scandals when he took over as the country’s chief executive more than a decade ago. Worked as a prosecutor.
In a flurry of posts on social media on Thursday, the US technology billionaire said Robinson, who founded the far-right English Defense League and whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, “must be freed”.
“Why is Tommy Robinson in solitary confinement for telling the truth?”. Musk wrote on his owned social media platform X on Thursday.
He wrote, “He should be released and those who covered up this travesty should take his place in that cell.”
Robinson, a one-time football hooligan convicted of several criminal offenses in Britain, has been jailed for 18 months after admitting contempt of court in a long-running defamation case involving a Syrian refugee. Is serving a sentence of.
Musk also posted several messages about grooming scams that had been going on for decades in several English towns and cities, including Rochdale, Rotherham and Oldham, until they were exposed more than a decade ago.
Musk shared claims from various other accounts related to the scandal and criticized Starmer’s response to the scandal.
“In Britain, police require Crown Prosecution Service approval to charge suspects with serious crimes such as rape. Who was the head of CPS when rape gangs were allowed to exploit young girls without facing justice? Keir Starmer, 2008-2013,” he posted, criticizing the current British Prime Minister.
Starmer was head of the CPS during that period and, soon after the scandal broke, he launched a prosecution against a grooming gang in Rochdale during his final year in the role. None of the investigations into the scandals convicted Starmer or found that he tried to prevent prosecution.
In 2012, Starmer blamed the justice system’s flawed approach to sexual abuse and ordered a comprehensive restructuring of CPS’s responses to it.
Musk’s tweet on Robinson has received support from people on the far-right, including Dutch politician Geert Wilders, as well as some right-wing YouTube channels, who have also called for his release.

Musk was also a major funder and supporter of US President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign. Last month, Trump denied claims that he had “handed over the presidency” to Musk.
