Tommy Robinson is a "far-right extremist" from the United Kingdom. As we reported last year, Robinson was arrested in Canada for speaking at a peaceful demonstration against censorship and government overreach, or, as the state put it, giving an "anti-Islam speech." Newspapers reported that Robinson, who was on a speaking tour, was arrested on "suspicion of immigration offenses."
A few months later, he was arrested in the U.K. for terrorism, the day after giving a speech against mass migration. Ironically, he was arrested for screening his documentary, "Silenced."
Robinson was released from prison on Tuesday, where he was sentenced to 18 months for contempt of court. He immediately put on a MEGA hat and thanked Elon Musk for giving us a free speech platform, X.

Tommy Robinson says thank you to Elon Musk: “I have to say a thank you to Elon Musk, because without X, if we didn't have X, everyone would just think I lied. No one would have got any other narrative.”

First thing out of prison and he thanks Elon Musk…because in 2025, speaking freely is more dangerous than breaking the law.

We have much to be thankful for from Elon.

Elon enabled it all.
It's great to see Tommy Robinson out and acknowledging the importance of free speech platforms. Elon's commitment is making a real difference. Let's hope more people recognize the value of open dialogue.

I think @elonmusk paid for his legal team too. Elon is a good guy.

Robinson will be back in court in June to defend himself against a lawsuit from two Daily Mail reporters.
The second thing he did was get a shave and a haircut:
From hobo to hero.
