Now Elon Musk deletes his OWN tweet about Keir Starmer after sharing fake far-right news story claiming PM is sending rioters to the Falklands
Elon Musk has fallen victim to the rampant misinformation on his own platform after he tweeted far-Right fake news that Sir Keir Starmer is considering building detainment camps.
The world's richest man shared a doctored headline that falsely stated the British Prime Minister is considering building 'emergency' prisons on the Falkland Islands for arrested rioters.
It was made out to be an article in the Telegraph by a senior news reporter at the newspaper but a cursory search of Google reveals no such piece exists.
Musk later deleted his post – a rare backward step for the billionaire whose posts have become increasingly unhinged on his social media site.
He had written 'Detainment Camps'…' at 10am as he shared the post by Ashlea Simon, co-leader of far-Right group Britain First.

Mr Musk shared the post on X made by Ashlea Simon, co-leader of far-Right group Britain First
While it was removed within 35 minutes it had already accumulated 1.8million views as the Tesla and SpaceX owner has over 190million followers.
Simon's original tweet contained the fake headline: 'Keir Starmer considering building 'emergency detainment camps' on the Falkland Islands.'
The subdeck said: 'The camps would be used to detain prisoners from the ongoing riots as the British prison system is already at capacity.'
She wrote: 'We're all being deported to the Falklands'. But her post also disappeared.
Simon first joined Britain First in 2019 and wrote in October that year that white Europeans are being 'replaced' by an influx of immigrants.
She said that 'the great replacement is real and deadly for the white Brit'.

Mr Musk has repeatedly clashed with Sir Keir over the riots sweeping through the UK, accusing his administration of 'two tier policing'.
He has suggested officers are going softer on Muslim thugs than far-Right rioters and even claimed 'civil war is inevitable' in Britain.
The latter saw Sir Keir hit back, saying: 'There's no justification for comments like that.'
Former chief inspector of constabulary Sir Thomas Winsor went further, telling Mr Musk to 'stick to batteries, cars and rockets'.
The social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, has been accused of spreading hate and whipping up racial tensions in the UK as minisformation has gone unchecked.
Riots started after agitators including Andrew Tate shared fake news that the Southport attacker who stabbed children attending a Taylor Swift dance class was a Muslim immigrant.

The Telegraph tweeted that 'no such article has ever been published' by the newspaper
They were able to disseminate the lie that the suspect was called 'Ali Al-Shakati', and had arrived in the UK illegally on a boat last year.
It continued despite police stating this was false and a judge then taking the extraordinary move to reveal the identity of the 17-year-old suspect as Cardiff born Axel Rudakubana.
As the riots exploded, tensions were whipped up further on X by far-Right influencers including English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson.
He falsely claimed protesters 'have been stabbed by Muslims in Stoke'.
A spokesman for TMG, which owns The Telegraph, said: 'This is a fabricated headline for an article that does not exist.
'We notified relevant platforms and requested that the post be taken down.'
