  Concerns are growing in the UK as tech billionaire Elon Musk takes an increasingly close interest in Britain's political scene, appearing to cosy up to hard-right firebrand lawmaker Nigel Farage.

Elon Musk's potential involvement in UK politics has raised concerns among British officials and political analysts, as reported by France 24 on December 19, 2024. Musk, known for his significant influence through companies like Tesla and X Corp (formerly Twitter), has been engaging with UK political figures and expressing views on various policy matters, including Brexit, environmental regulations, and technology governance. His interactions, often shared via social media, have sparked debate about the influence of tech moguls in national politics. Critics worry that Musk's involvement could skew policy-making in favor of his business interests, potentially undermining democratic processes. There are also concerns about data privacy and the implications of his companies' technologies on national security. The UK government has yet to formally respond to these concerns, but discussions are ongoing about how to regulate the influence of such powerful figures in domestic politics.
