Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Senior politicians in three of Britain’s biggest parties have privately urged Donald Trump’s allies to reconsider his relationship with Elon Musk, after the billionaire Tesla boss made a series of increasingly inflammatory remarks about UK politics, including endorsing a figure on the far right.
In a barrage of posts on his social media platform X over the past week, Musk has called for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to be imprisoned, urged the release from jail of right-wing activist Tommy Robinson, and — perhaps most surprising of all — called for the replacement of one-time ally and Trump friend Nigel Farage as leader of the Reform UK party. On Monday, he pinned a post to his profile polling whether “America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.”
