The Counter Signal has learned that the domain name Liar.com now redirects to the Wikipedia page of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and it just may be Elon Musk’s doing.
There are signs indicating that Musk owns the website, as the X CEO has been vocal about his disdain for Starmer and is increasingly willing to criticize U.K. politics.
The domain’s redirection came amidst a flurry of online activity by Musk, who has not shied away from using his social media platform to voice his discontent with Starmer’s Labour government.
Since the Labour Party’s win in July, Musk has publicly criticized the administration, calling for new elections and even hinting at the need for U.S. intervention in British affairs through an online poll.
Starmer has responded to these criticisms by addressing what he referred to as alleged “lies and misinformation” spread on X.
Musk’s focus hasn’t been limited to political critique; he has also spotlighted social issues within the UK, particularly the abhorrent reality of grooming gangs in northern England, involving Pakistani men targeting British underaged girls.
The history of Liar.com also adds to speculation that Musk owns the domain name. Previously, the domain redirected to the Wikipedia page of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, indicating a pattern of political trolling.
On Monday, Musk also linked the two leaders, posting on X: “Trudeau is gone, Starmer will be soon.”
Musk was referring to Trudeau’s decision to announce his plans to resign and prorogue Parliament.
Registered in February 2000, the domain’s ownership remains obscured, and Musk has not admitted to being the owner.
Additionally, it was uncovered that during the height of the Freedom Convoy protests in 2022, a donation of $42,069 was made under the name www.Liar.com to the trucker protests – around the time that the website began to redirect to the Trudeau Wikipedia page.
Musk has also been known to jokingly refer to the numbers 420 and 69 in the past.
While no concrete evidence confirms Musk’s ownership, his known interest in memes and his financial ability to purchase such a sought-after domain definitely raises some interesting questions.
