About a million miles from a civil war. We are a country with a sense of unity that flows through a constitutional monarchy. That comfortable arrangement tends to pacify the unruly people in our society.
Musk's probably talking about the riots which followed the murder of three little girls. They revealed tensions over mass immigration, which most folks don't want when it's illegal and productive of crime, or when it's on an excessive scale or when it seems to introduce cultures that seem unwilling to mix in. I doubt the riots will be anything more than a temporary thing. And then I'm hopeful that, on a sensible scale, the magical work of cultural synthesis will gradually occur and we'll be better for it.
