UK tech minister Peter Kyle criticized Elon Musk, saying he is "one person who is accountable to no one" due to his ownership of Twitter and influence over public discourse. Kyle's comments come after Musk suggested on Twitter that immigration could lead to civil war in the UK amid ongoing riots in the country. Other UK government officials also criticized Musk's comments, saying there is no justification for language associating the riots with civil war. Kyle has held conversations with social media companies like Meta, Google, and Twitter to remind them of their responsibilities around misinformation related to the riots. The UK passed an Online Safety Act to crack down on harmful content but regulators can't yet take action on Musk's tweets due to the law not being fully implemented.
