The tech billionaire has told a crowd of British protesters to “fight back or die”
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has doubled down on his claim that “the left is the party of murder” in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination, delivering a fiery speech to tens of thousands of protesters at the Unite the Kingdom rally in London.
Addressing the gathering via video link at the event organized by activist Tommy Robinson on Saturday, Musk directed his message not just to those present but also to the “reasonable center, the people who ordinarily wouldn’t get involved in politics, who just want to live their lives.”
“Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you,” he said. “You either fight back or you die.”

Musk made reference to the assassination of Kirk in Utah earlier this week. “There’s so much violence on the left, with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood, and people on the left celebrating it openly,” he said. “The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder.”

The X owner and Tesla CEO also railed against what he described as the “woke mind virus,” claiming it is “super-racist, super-sexist, and often anti-religion – but only anti-Christian.” He called for advancement to be based on merit “rather than discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, race, or anything else.”

Musk’s speech went beyond culture war rhetoric. He called for the “dissolution of Parliament” and an early election in the UK, arguing that the current government has failed to protect the British public. “We don’t have another four years,” he said. “Something’s got to be done.”
The remarks drew applause from the crowd but condemnation from critics, who accused him of stoking extremism. The British authorities claimed that fewer than 150,000 people attended the march, while organizers insisted that millions turned up. Police said 24 people were arrested for assault and violent disorder after 26 officers were injured in clashes.
Kirk, 31, was gunned down on Wednesday while addressing students at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson, 22, who allegedly fired a single shot from a rooftop, has been charged with aggravated murder. Utah Governor Spencer Cox claimed Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” but officials are still working to establish a motive in what many have called a political assassination.
