Elon Musk falls for fake news about detainment camps.

Sharing is Caring!

Elon Musk took a rare backward step in his feud with the British government by deleting one of his own posts based on a fake news story about sending prisoners to emergency camps on the Falkland Islands.

The Tesla owner posted a two-word caption to his 193 million followers: “Detainment Camps.”

He deleted the post from his X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, after 35 minutes, presumably after realizing he had been pranked. It had reportedly been viewed nearly 2 million times.

The fake story was reportedly posted by the co-leader of a far-right political group called Britain First and was mocked up to resemble the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph. The headline read: “Keir Starmer considering building ’emergency detainment camps’ on the Falkland Islands.”

Underneath, was the strapline: “The camps would be used to detain prisoners from the ongoing riots as the British prison system is already at capacity.”
