If Starmer is successful in banning @X in Britain, I will move forward with legislation that is currently being drafted to sanction not only Starmer, but Britain as a whole. This would mirror actions previously taken by the United States in response to foreign governments restricting the platform, including the dispute with Brazil in 2024–2025, which resulted in tariffs, visa revocations, and sanctions and consequences tied to free speech concerns against Brazilian officials over concerns related to censorship and free-speech violations. Starmer should reconsider this course of action, or there will be consequences. There are always technical bugs during the early phases of new technology, especially AI, and those issues are typically addressed quickly. X treats these matters seriously and acts promptly. Let’s be clear: this is not about technical compliance. This is a political war against @elonmusk and free speech—nothing more.

🇬🇧 STARMER THREATENS TO BAN X IN BRITAIN: "ALL OPTIONS ON THE TABLE" The UK jails people for calling rapists "pigs." Now they're coming for Elon. PM Keir Starmer says he's asked Ofcom to consider banning X entirely over AI-generated images from Grok. "This is disgraceful. It's disgusting and it's not to be tolerated. X needs to get their act together." The Online Safety Act gives Britain power to block social media sites nationwide. X has 20 million UK users. Elon's response to the law? He called it "suppression of the people." And he's not wrong. This is the same UK that arrested 3,000+ people for "malicious communications" last year. The same UK that jailed someone for calling a convicted rapist a "pig." The same UK trying to ban visa entry for Americans who expose their censorship. Now they want to ban the entire platform because they don't like the AI? Britain once exported liberty to the world. Now they're exporting authoritarianism dressed as safety and decorum. Starmer is just punishing a platform that won't bend the knee. Source: The Telegraph @elonmusk
