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.”
