X owner deletes post sharing faked Telegraph article that claimed convicted rioters would be sent to detention camps

Elon Musk shared a fake Telegraph article claiming Keir Starmer was considering sending far-right rioters to “emergency detainment camps” in the Falklands.

Musk deleted his post after about 30 minutes but a screenshot captured by Politics.co.uk suggests it had garnered nearly two million views before it was deleted.

In it, Musk shared the image posted by the co-leader of the far-right group Britain First, Ashlea Simon, which she captioned with, “we’re all being deported to the Falklands”.

    On the other hand… do you want them getting out there to infect the rest of the galaxy?

    Who said anything about giving them supplies?

    I’m sure the free market will solve this! (yes, /s)

      In 3001 (sequel to 2001) they were able to revive Frank Poole. And in three body problem they thought they could revive just his head — I’m NOT taking any chances!!
