There's an interesting post by Duncan Lewis Solicitors about the law as it relates to Elon Musk's criticism of the UK.

Where Does Free Speech End and the Law Begin? (17 September 2025)

UK politicians have branded Musk a criminal and called for his arrest.

Sir Ed Davey brands Elon Musk a criminal and calls for his arrest for 'allowing online harm to children'

So I doubt if Davey (aka 'a snivelling cretin') will be buying any SpaceX shares.

Is Musk predicting or provoking? That is the question.

It depends on whether you think a stabbing provokes a violent backlash or someone suggesting that a stabbing will provoke violence provokes a violent backlash.

The answer seems pretty clear.
