This is reported by Bloomberg.It is noted that the interlocutors of the publication privately urged Trump’s allies to reconsider his relationship with Musk after he made a series of provocative statements about the internal politics of Great Britain and supported the far-right leader of the populist Reform UK party Nigel Farage. In addition, Musk called for the imprisonment of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the release of right-wing activist Tommy Robinson.
Media interlocutors suggest that Musk’s posts on social networks are damaging the reputation of the new US president, even among his friends and supporters in Britain.
“That the three parties, which together won 72% of the vote in last July’s general election and were battling for the lead in the latest polls, are warning Trump that relations with Musk pose a risk to the so-called ‘special’ relationship between Britain and the US,” – the article says.
The authors say Musk is set to take on a key role in advising the new administration when Trump takes office, and his meddling in British politics “is unprecedented”:
“These views represent a rare unity in Britain when it comes to US and Trump politics. It comes after a months-long spate of posts by Musk on social media.”
The publication summarizes that the “sudden break” seems to have given Starmer the confidence to respond to Musk’s attacks, which he did the day before, saying that the businessman’s rhetoric “crossed the line”.
The last statements of Elon MuskAs UNIAN reported, the other day American billionaire Elon Musk offered the USA to “liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.” In addition, Musk wants to send British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to prison.
Subsequently, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Har Støre called it “disturbing” that the owner of the social network interferes in the politics of other countries. According to him, the fact that a person with huge access to social networks and large financial resources is so directly involved in the internal affairs of other countries is disturbing.
