London: Tech billionaire Elon Musk supported a British MP’s post arguing that a London railway station name should appear only in English after a dual-language signboard featured “Bengali” as well.
Rupert Lowe, the Great Yarmouth MP, shared an image of the bilingual sign at Whitechapel Station on his official X account. “This is London – the station name should be in English, and English only,” said Lowe, a Reform UK MP for Great Yarmouth, on Sunday.
Musk, known for his close ties to former US President Donald Trump, recently suggested that Nigel Farage should be replaced as Reform UK leader and appeared to endorse 67-year-old Lowe. While some social media users supported Lowe’s stance, others defended multilingual signs, arguing they were “not wrong.”
Musk has previously sought to influence British politics and has criticised Prime Minister Keir Starmer repeatedly since anti-immigration riots last summer. He backed calls for a national inquiry into the handling of cases of rape by men of Pakistani heritage of underage girls by the government’s prosecution service which Starmer previously ran.
