Musk rocks U.K. politics with attacks on PM and support for far right

^{Published on 2025-01-03 07:20:38 - MSN}

Elon Musk hijacked British politics this week with a stream of at least 60 X posts since Tuesday attacking Prime Minister Keir Starmer, defending an anti-Islam campaigner and endorsing the far-right Reform Party.

Elon Musk has stirred controversy in the U.K. by publicly criticizing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and expressing support for the far-right Reform UK party. Musk's comments came after he met with Sunak at the AI Safety Summit, where he later described Sunak as "a great guy" but suggested he was not doing enough to address what Musk perceives as excessive "woke" culture. Musk's endorsement of Reform UK, a party known for its anti-immigration stance, has been seen as an attempt to influence British politics, especially as the party has been gaining traction in polls. His involvement has raised concerns about foreign influence in domestic politics, with critics arguing that Musk's interventions could undermine the democratic process. This situation has added a new layer of complexity to the upcoming U.K. general election, highlighting the intersection of tech moguls, social media, and political discourse.
