Elon Musk has said UK MPs “will be summoned to the United States of America to explain their censorship and threats to American citizens” in a fresh escalation of tensions between the world’s richest man and Labour.
Musk, who has been a fixture at the side of Donald Trump since his re-election as US president, was responding to a Guardian report on Wednesday that the Commons’ science and technology select committee would call him to give evidence in the new year in its inquiry into the spread of harmful content on social media after the August riots.
The committee’s chair, Chi Onwurah, a Labour MP, said she wanted to see how Musk, who owns the X social media platform, “reconciles his promotion of freedom of expression with his promotion of pure disinformation”.
It’s almost like he gave Trump an advantage so huge he owes him, huh? Like it’s weird Trump isn’t reeling him in at all, right? Anyone?
And if he was paying attention and not snorting cocaine off a cyber truck’s ass, he’d have seen how tRump treats those around him, especially when the other takes the spotlight. Musk is doing the “fuck around” part and will soon feel the “find out” part once tRump no longer needs him.
