Elon Musk is trying to whip up discord and division, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is furious after the high-profile murder of a teenager.

18-year-old Henry Nowak was stabbed in Southampton in December. Despite being seriously injured, the police handcuffed him while he bled to death.

Since the recent publication of material from the police's body camera, the case has been politicized, with sometimes violent protests against alleged racism against whites among the police.

Tech billionaire Musk has joined the protests. In a post on X, he claims that police policy forces them to act “racist towards whites,” which angers Prime Minister Starmer.

– Musk has tried to interfere in our politics in recent days and tried to sow division, he said on Thursday, according to British media.

23-year-old Vickrum Digwa was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Nowak.
