Elon Musk is standing up for free speech in the U.K. following last month’s election that resulted in huge wins for the far-left Labor Party.

Since its rise to power in July, Labor Party leaders have begun cracking down on social media, even arresting individuals for posts said to incite violence. Now, Musk is using his X account to defend users and raise concerns over the crackdown in the U.K.

“It’s 2030 in the UK & you’re being executed for posting a meme …,” Must wrote on X Saturday.

“The Brits gave up their guns and now their government puts them in jail for Facebook posts,” a meme reads that Musk shared.

Musk is combating a “tyrannical style policing of social media in the UK,” says Nile Gardiner, a former advisor to Lady Thatcher and the current director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation.

“Thank God for Elon Musk taking on the Labor Government,” Gardiner declared during an interview on The Daily Signal Podcast.

Recent violent riots in the U.K. were spurred on after rumors spread online related to the identity of a man who killed three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed event in the English town of Southport, 50 miles west of Manchester, at the end of July. The suspect was rumored to be an illegal immigrant and Islamic. Both claims were proven false. The man now charged with the murder of the three girls was born to Rwandan immigrant parents in Britain.

Two men have been arrested in the U.K. and sentenced to a combined nearly five years in prison for reportedly using social media to encourage rioters to target hotels housing migrants in the U.K.

During a recent interview with Sky News, London's Metropolitan Police Commissioner warned that law enforcement "throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you.”

Gardiner condemned the violent demonstrations while calling the crackdown on social media “very dangerous.”

“We need free speech champions fighting against Orwellian tactics and policies,” Gardiner said, adding that “Elon Elon Musk is doing this and full credit to him.”

Gardiner joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain what we know about the violent riots in the U.K., and Labor Party's social media speech policies.
