British politicians have accused Elon Musk of encouraging an anti-immigrant pogrom in Northern Ireland.

On Tuesday night, masked men burned cars, smashed windows, and set fires across the city of Belfast after footage of a knife attack the previous night circulated online. A 30-year-old Sudanese man has been charged with attempted murder for the knife attack. Rioters then targeted immigrant neighborhoods, forcing families to flee. Claire Hanna, leader of Northern Ireland’s Social Democratic and Labour Party, described the violence as a “race-based pogrom.”

On Tuesday, before men rampaged through Belfast in search of migrants, Musk shared a call by far right Tommy Robinson for people to take to the streets. Musk wrote, “Only by protesting REPEATEDLY and LOUDLY will there be any change!!”

Musk later reposted a post that said: “It’s not social media that’s ‘inflaming tensions.’ It’s not Elon Musk. It’s not Nigel Farage. It’s not the ‘far-right.’ It is the very deliberate policy of mass uncontrolled immigration & open borders. This policy has to end or it will destroy Western nations.”

Musk said in another post that “Nothing else matters if civilization falls” — echoing claims made by white nationalists that immigrants are a threat to “Western civilization.”
