He does not speak for us
Musk wants to be seen as popular, powerful, and politically useful. A public petition says the opposite: his interference is rejected.
He may own the platform. He does not own Britain.
We believe in an Elon-Free UK.
Elon Musk has used X to push panic, grievance, and extremist narratives into British public life.
He does not speak for us. His endorsement is not welcome. His interference is not welcome.
He may be able to reach Britain through X, but Britain does not have to reward him with access, status, hospitality, or influence.
Sign to say: Elon Musk is not welcome here.
This is our country and our home. His endorsement is not welcome. His interference is not welcome. He does not speak for us.
Why sign?
Three reasons to add your name.
He should not be welcome here
Exclusion will not switch off X. That is not the point. The point is refusing the privileges of British welcome to foreign public figures who put our public life at risk.
The power already exists
The Home Secretary already has public-good exclusion powers. In the digital age, those powers should apply when online conduct creates serious UK risks.
Why Musk?
Because he is not just commenting on Britain.
He owns one of the systems through which millions of people understand politics, public disorder, institutions, and each other.
During unrest, he has amplified panic, grievance, and extremist narratives into British public life. He may be able to do that from abroad, but Britain does not have to treat him as welcome here.
Fear
He escalates fear
During active disorder in the UK, Musk posted that civil war was inevitable. That was not neutral analysis. It was a foreign billionaire pushing panic while British communities were already under pressure.
Grievance politics
He boosts grievance politics
Musk has amplified Tommy Robinson in Britain, backed Germany's AfD, and rallied to Marine Le Pen's defence in France. It is transnational grievance politics.
Platform power
He controls the amplifier
This is not one man shouting from the sidelines. Musk controls the platform rules, verification incentives, recommender systems, moderation posture, and status economy of X.
The legal basis
Britain already has public-good exclusion powers.
The Home Secretary already has powers to exclude non-UK nationals whose presence is not conducive to the public good. In the digital age, those powers should apply where credible evidence shows that online conduct creates serious risks to UK public order, democratic security, or community safety.
Home Office guidance allows exclusion without waiting for a criminal conviction. The petition asks Government to use those powers where online conduct creates serious risks to public order, democratic security, or community safety.
This is not about pretending a border decision can regulate the whole internet. It is about whether Britain must offer welcome, access, and legitimacy to someone whose platform power is used against public order here.
What the petition demands
Use existing public-good exclusion powers to refuse UK entry to foreign public figures whose online conduct creates a serious risk to public order, democratic security, or community safety in the UK.
Britain should not have to welcome foreign public figures who put our public life at risk.
Why this wording?
The campaign says it bluntly. The petition says it properly.
Parliament petitions need to ask the UK Government or Parliament to do one clear thing, and that thing has to be something they are responsible for.
That is why the official wording focuses on existing public-good exclusion powers, UK entry, and serious risks to public order, democratic security, or community safety.
The campaign can use blunt slogans. The official petition avoids swear words, offensive slogans, loose accusations, and claims that would make it harder for Parliament to check, publish, and respond to it.

How Parliament petitions work
First, a petition needs five initial supporters. Then Parliament checks whether it meets the petition standards.
Up to 21 early supporters can back a petition before publication. If accepted, it is published for public signatures and stays open for six months.
At 10,000 signatures, the Government responds. At 100,000 signatures, the petition is considered for debate in Parliament.
Questions
The objection is the point.
Why exclusion, if he can act remotely?
Because exclusion is not a technical fix. It is a democratic boundary. It will not stop every post, algorithm, or lie, but it says something important: you do not get to pour disorder into British public life and then expect the privileges of British welcome.
Britain should not have to welcome foreign public figures who put our public life at risk.
Add your name to say Britain can draw a democratic boundary: no access, no status, no hospitality, and no welcome.
SourcesThe evidence behind the campaign
The campaign is a moral case, but its factual claims are anchored in Home Office guidance, parliamentary evidence, regulators, courts, researchers, and reporting.
