Far‑right activist Tommy Robinson met Errol Musk, Elon Musk’s father, in a Moscow hotel on Monday, just hours before a stabbing in Belfast sparked violent riots. Robinson posted a video of the meeting, claiming they were “going to cause some trouble ,” while Musk repeatedly urged people to take to the streets. The stabbing , carried out by Sudanese migrant Hadi Alodid, led to masked men torching homes, cars and a bus, and targeting non‑white residents in Belfast.
