A UK musician has told GB News of his pride at being backed by Elon Musk after he released a song that criticised Britain's illegal immigration and Sir Keir Starmer's free speech crackdown.
Posting a fire emoji under a post showcasing the song, the Tesla owner doubled down on his recent criticism of the UK government's response to illegal immigration and the riots that erupted after the tragic killings of three children in Southport.
'Ross the Don', 26, from the West Midlands wrote the song, entitled 'Save Us' one night on his way home from work, having become more and more agitated at the direction of Britain under Labour.
Ross believes his song has amassed more than five million views across platforms and has gone viral in Poland.
In the tune, the singer references the Central European country as a safe haven, singing: "I'm going to Poland. They keep their streets safe and you're not here to lock me up in jail over some comments I left on Facebook."
The song takes direct aim at the Labour Government for its response to the Southport riots and the resulting outcry over the threat to free speech. The lyrics continue: "If I speak my mind, then I am far right."

Ross is adamant that he is not far right, writing: "We're patriotic but one thing is that we are not racist."
The issue for the 26 year old is the threat of mass migration to Britain's infrastructure and culture. In the viral tune he sings: "I try and see a doctor but my time is just wasted."
Ross told GB News: "A while back I was in the hospital and there was a lady asking for some help, bless her.
"The receptionist asked the lady if she had ID. She said no and that she didn't have a passport. She asked her how long she had been in the UK and the lady replied two days. I thought people could just come and rinse the NHS."
Ross said he had seen TikTok videos ascribing a multitude of diagnoses for what he calls the UK's "decline" but the floor installer felt they had missed the mark. The idea to write the song and vent his frustration over immigration came to him one night while driving.
"Ten minutes later I had the lyrics. I pulled over, I had my guitar in the back," he explained.

Ross posted his video to Instagram and it went viral. The young man says the reaction has been overwhelming.
"I've been asked to perform all over the UK," he said.
But the Government's hate speech crackdown has him wary: "If I were to go and perform this as a peaceful protest, in any sense, if any disorder were to come from it, then the blame would come on me. I'd be very reluctant to actually accept any offers."
Yet, the young man feels he has mass support: "I would say there have probably been three bad comments. 99.9 per cent of people absolutely loved it. People say 'this is great. We need someone like you'."
The 26-year-old says he has been told he is the "UK's Oliver Anthony" - a reference to the US country sensation whose anti-elites song shot to Number 1.
Asked how it felt to be on Elon Musk's radar, Ross said: "I must be doing something right for one of the coolest guys on the planet to think my song is fire.
"Elon Musk is arguably the busiest man in the world. If even he can notice how bad the UK is getting then our politicians must be blind."
Ross underlined his appreciation for the tech billionaire: "If it weren't for X, we wouldn't be seeing the videos of hundreds of blokes landing on our beaches.
"You only have to look at any UK town or city. People walk around disrespecting our nation and our culture. I see it on a daily basis."
Ross has been encouraged by the reaction to his music, which has prompted him to release a few more songs to his Instagram since.
He wants to continue to push his message: "Just because we are opposed to illegal immigration does not make us racist. We're just protecting our culture and our infrastructure. It doesn't feel like England anymore."
