Elon Musk predicted a civil war in Britain amid mass unrest following a tragic knife attack that killed three children.
On July 29, in Southport, Merseyside, a 17-year-old teenager attacked children during a dance and yoga class. Three children were killed, and several others, including two adults, were critically injured. The attacker has been charged with multiple counts, including murder and attempted murder.
Initial, unconfirmed rumors suggested the attacker was a refugee, leading to heightened tensions. It was later clarified by Sky News that the suspect is from a Rwandan family but was born in Wales. The police stated there was no terrorist motive behind the attack.
The attack sparked far-right protests across Britain, escalating into violent clashes and mass riots. The far-right English Defence League is believed to have organized the protests.
Elon Musk commented on the situation via social network X, stating that “civil war is inevitable” in response to the ongoing unrest.

Some British media speculated about a Russian connection in inciting the far-right protests. The Russian Embassy in London firmly denied these allegations.
The police are managing the riots and addressing the spread of misinformation. The British government is likely monitoring the situation closely to prevent further escalation.
This situation underscores the volatile nature of public reaction to violent incidents and the complexities of managing misinformation and far-right mobilization in times of crisis.
