Elon Musk criticized the sentencing of Andrew McIntyre, a neo-Nazi who incited riots in the U.K. last summer. McIntyre was sentenced to seven years in prison for encouraging violent disorder and criminal damage. Musk's comments have raised concerns about his support for far-right extremists and his use of social media to spread disinformation. The riots followed a deadly knife attack in Southport, and McIntyre used social media platforms to call for violence and target mosques. Musk's decision to amplify the voices of far-right figures has been criticized for spreading extremist ideology.
