Elon Musk's Misconceptions About London Crime
Elon Musk is fixated on London crime, despite evidence showing that the likelihood of being mugged or murdered in London is lower than in many other major European capitals or most U.S. cities.
Reality of Crime in the UK
Contrary to some alarming claims by critics, life in the UK is generally safe. While economic challenges persist, the country is far from the "lawless wasteland" some on the political right describe it as.
Musk's Civil War Claim
“The country is on the brink of civil war is, as the locals might say, complete tosh.”
This statement reflects the local view on Musk’s unfounded fear of a civil war in the UK, which he mentions repeatedly as part of his distorted perspective on the nation’s condition.
