Britain’s on a “stairway to hell” under Keir Starmer, argues mining magnate.
Like father, like son.
Elon Musk’s dad joined his billionaire son in ranting against Britain’s government on Monday, accusing center-left Prime Minister Keir Starmer of being a “fascist” and warning the country is headed for the abyss.
Errol Musk told Times Radio that Starmer — who attracted the ire of Musk junior earlier this year as police battled to contain far-right riots sweeping the country — is heading up a “totally fascist” government with “absolutely nothing democratic about it.”
“Starmer needs to resign and they need to hold a new election in England because the people have had a wake-up call now,” he said of the government elected in July’s landslide.
He added: “They need to reelect a government in this country. This government that you’ve got now is the stairway to hell. Quote me on that. Stairway to hell is Stormy’s government.”
Errol Musk, a mining tycoon and former politician, has had a rocky relationship with his son. In a 2017 interview, Elon Musk branded him a “terrible human being” capable of “evil.”

But Musk senior has since spoken approvingly of his son’s recent tilt into United States politics, and said Monday that Elon — currently campaigning for Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump — is “not far right.”
“Elon is dead center,” he told Times Radio. “Just like the crowds that protested in England about the circumstances that they were unhappy with, none of them were far right. They were just ordinary people expressing legitimate grievances.”
Elon Musk repeatedly feuded with Starmer over the summer as violence spread across the United Kingdom in the wake of a stabbing attack in Southport in which three children were killed. Musk directly attacked the U.K.’s prime minister on X and predicted a “civil war” in the country.
He also compared the U.K. to the Soviet Union and shared — and later deleted — a confected news headline about the British prime minister building “detainment camps” on the Falkland Islands to house rioters.
His comments earned him rebukes from multiple U.K. government ministers at the time — but at least his dad is happy.
