Musk tried to 'undermine' general election and 'depose' Starmer, MPs told

^{Published on 2025-01-13 13:00:37 - MSN}

Musk tried to 'undermine' general election and 'depose' Starmer, MPs told - Labour MP Joanna Baxter also accused Elon Musk of putting the safety of Home Office minister Jess Phillips 'at risk' through his platform X.

The article from MSN discusses allegations made by British MPs that Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), attempted to influence the UK general election and undermine Labour Party leader Keir Starmer. According to the MPs, Musk's platform has been accused of not adequately addressing misinformation and hate speech, which they claim could have swayed public opinion during the election. They argue that under Musk's leadership, X has become a breeding ground for conspiracy theories and false narratives, potentially aimed at destabilizing democratic processes. This has led to calls for stricter regulations on social media platforms to ensure they do not become tools for election interference. The concerns were raised in a parliamentary debate, highlighting the broader implications of social media's role in politics.
