Elon Musk has called for the release of British far-right activist Tommy Robinson, who is serving an 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court. In a series of social media posts, including a pinned tweet stating 'Free Tommy Robinson,' the Tesla CEO criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, accusing him of complicity in widespread sexual exploitation crimes during his tenure as head of the Crown Prosecution Service. Musk has called on King Charles to dissolve Parliament and for fresh general elections in the UK, suggesting that the current government lacks public support. He has also urged the United States to apply economic and diplomatic pressure on the UK to secure Robinson's release. Musk expressed support for the Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage, stating that 'only Reform can save Britain.'
