Keir Starmer has taken too much control since becoming prime minister and is presiding over a “two-tier” state, according to Elon Musk’s father, Errol.
The tech mogul has been embroiled in a bitter feud with Starmer in recent weeks after riots across the UK kicked off in response to a crazed stabbing attack in Southport.
Elon even took aim at Starmer over the decision to release at least 1,750 prisoners in September in a bid to free up space.
Speaking to Andrew Eborn on Octopus TV, Elon’s father, Errol, made it clear that he agrees wholeheartedly with many of his son’s sentiments.

“What I’ve seen with the Starmer government is an impulsive need to control people”, he said.
“Control not only their response to illegal immigration but also in all sorts of ways. Heating fuel requirements and increasing taxes.

“Human beings cannot be controlled. You can’t even control your own children. I would like to meet the person who says, ‘I can control my children’, I don’t believe such a person exists.
“People will only be controlled up to the point they allow you to control them, to the point they are happy to be controlled.”
He added: “They have introduced controls where everyday, nice people, who are fed up with unbridled illegal immigration are being jailed.
“This is control I would not see someone else being subjected to and saying ‘I am okay with that’, this is not okay.

“Starmer has gone beyond what people will allow within themselves that they are happy to be controlled about.
“He has created a situation where he is doing things where at least a majority of people would say, ‘I would not vote for that control’.”
Errol added that were an election to be held now in the UK, he would expect a Labour defeat despite their short term in office.
He says Britain is turning into a “two-tier” state, with people of a certain mind frame finding themselves in a vulnerable position in the eyes of the law.
Elon Musk has been critical of Starmer
Reuters“People are intelligent enough to know we do need controls. You can’t decide, ‘I am going to do whatever in town today’”, he said.
“There has to be controls that we all agree with and vote for. Starmer has gone beyond that. Then we saw these so-called riots.
“I saw people coming together and saying ‘we’re not happy’, but there were hundreds of policemen. They were objecting to unbridled immigration.”
The prime minister delivered a heavy-handed response to the riots, vowing to crack down on “far-right” thuggery after violent scenes broke out across the country.
In Southport, some rioters took aim at a mosque while cars were set on fire and flipped over.
Speaking on a visit to Paris in August, Starmer warned about the “snake oil” of populism and nationalism.
The riots broke out during his first month in No 10 and were fuelled by an anti-immigration sentiment.
