Elon Musk has hit out at leftists for “openly celebrating” Charlie Kirk’s death during a video call with Tommy Robinson at today’s “Unite the Kingdom” protest.
He joined the activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, at today’s mass protest in London via a live call.
Mr Musk used his speech to warn about the effects of “massive uncontrolled migration” and pay tribute to Mr Kirk, the conservative activist who was assassinated this week while speaking at a university in Utah.
In a GB News video, you can hear Mr Musk telling the crowd: “We’ve got horrific stories and the Government did nothing and tried to hide it.

“People were celebrating it openly. The left is the party of nutters.”
