Elon Musk sharpened his criticism of Keir Starmer on X, accusing the UK government of orchestrating “long-term settlement to import voters.” In a pointed post on X, Musk wrote: “The goal is obviously long-term settlement to import voters. If mass importation of voters is allowed to continue, it will succeed and the vote of the Britain-born will not matter.”
Musk’s remarks have injected a new level of intensity into the debate, echoing concerns from sections of the public and opposition politicians who claim current migration policies risk changing the country’s political fabric. His comments quickly spread across social media, gaining traction among users who feel that local concerns are being ignored in favor of policies benefiting recent arrivals.
Critics of the government seized on Musk’s intervention, arguing that the allocation of new-build homes to migrants is just one example of policies that, in their view, privilege newcomers at the expense of those born in Britain. They warn that failure to heed these concerns could undermine public trust in the democratic process.
Government officials, meanwhile, have pushed back against the accusation, insisting that immigration and housing policy remain guided by law and humanitarian need—not political calculation. Still, with one of the world’s most influential tech figures now calling attention to the issue, pressure is mounting on ministers to clarify their long-term intentions.
As the debate carries on, Musk’s comments are likely to keep the issue of migrant accommodation—and its broader implications for British society—firmly in the public spotlight.
Musk might like to take a trip to Southampton where Southampton Council gives grants to local charities providing knitting and Mug printing lessons to migrants as we reported earlier in the month.
