Summary

A Guardian analysis reveals that Elon Musk posted about UK race and immigration topics on X twice as often as he posted about SpaceX in the lead-up to the aerospace company's IPO. Between May 31 and June 12, Musk's social media activity heavily focused on UK politics, particularly during a period of heightened tension around online activity from rightwing accounts. The analysis highlights how the world's richest person, who primarily lives in the US, has been increasingly vocal about British political affairs.
