Tesla CEO Elon Musk has urged King Charles III to depose the United Kingdom’s Labour administration.
Musk has been criticizing the Labour administration for days, but he reached a fever pitch this week when he expressed fury at the government’s treatment of the mostly-Pakistani rape gangs that have raped thousands of white British girls over the years. On Friday, just after midnight, he delivered his most dramatic statement yet, agreeing to a post urging King Charles III to intervene and dissolve the administration.
“Who agrees that the KING should dissolve Parliament and call a general election for the benefit of the country’s security? “The King must act before it is too late!” Musk responded, “Yes,” to what user Benonwine had said.

The king’s ability to dissolve parliament is debatable. According to Milners Solicitors, a British legal firm, the king legally possesses the authority to dissolve parliament, although this power has never been used in contemporary history. This would very certainly result in a constitutional crisis, which could lead to Charles III’s abdication or the end of the monarchy. British kings are largely apolitical, rarely engaging on political issues.
Though a prime minister must obtain their consent to dissolve parliament, the process is seen mostly as a formality.
The last time a British monarch unilaterally dissolved parliament was King William IV in 1831. Since then, decorum and the law have significantly curtailed the monarch’s power.
Aside from his requests for the king to intercede, Musk’s tone increased dramatically on Friday.
He branded Labour Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips a “rape genocide apologist” and claimed that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer was implicated in the “RAPE” of the United Kingdom.
“Starmer was complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN throughout his six-year tenure as head of Crown Prosecutions. “Starmer must go, and he must face charges for his role in the worst mass crime in British history,” Musk stated.
In the last week, X has erupted over discussions of Pakistani child rape gangs that have been active in the United Kingdom for decades. Though the scope of the problem has been known since the 2010s, a new firestorm erupted when the Labour administration denied the city of Oldham’s request for a Home Office-led probe into the historic abuse, sparking accusations of involvement.
The organizations targeted and gang-raped white British girls as young as 11, as well as torturing, threatening, drugging, and murdering them. The 14-year-old victim was allegedly minced into kebab meat. The survivors said that they had been subjected to repeated racial abuse.
Musk began posting about the incident on Wednesday, but retweeted other accounts that had been discussing it for days. His first post on the subject came early Wednesday morning, quoting Telegraph columnist Sam Ashworth-Hayes, who was quoting a report detailing how fathers who attempted to rescue their daughters from houses where gangs imprisoned them were arrested rather than the gangs.
He offered his support behind Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, whom he met at Mar-a-Lago last month.
The Labour government, concerned that Musk could have a significant impact, is looking for methods to limit his power. It has considered adopting additional steps to ban foreign personalities from making large political donations, according to the Wall Street Journal.
