In 2012, the Tesla tycoon Elon Musk took a Boris bike on a tour around London, bathing in the Olympics love-in, declaring to his Twitter followers that “I really like Britain!”
Musk had good reason to be pleased that year, having made his first appearance on the prestigious Forbes Billionaire List – with a modest £1.58 billion fortune.
Twelve years later, Musk’s fortune is valued at $316.5 billion (£250 billion), thanks to Tesla becoming the world’s largest car company and SpaceX becoming the planet’s leading space launch provider. But, jarringly, his valuation of the UK appears to have gone into reverse gear.
The South-African born tycoon has used the social media platform that he bought in 2022 to warn, during the riots earlier this year, that civil war in the UK was “inevitable” and attack “Two-Tier Keir” Starmer and the UK repeatedly.
At the same time, Starmer’s government was accusing social media companies of adding fuel to the fire during the riots. Ofcom, the media regulator, said there was an “increased risk” of such sites being used to “stir up hatred” and “provoke violence”.
On Wednesday, it emerged that MPs on the Commons science and technology committee, chaired by Labour’s Chi Onwurah, intended to summon Musk for questioning over the spread of disinformation on X, formerly Twitter. He retorted: “They will be summoned to the United States of America to explain their censorship and threats to American citizens.”
The skirmishes between Musk and Labour that started in the summer appear to have been unhelpful for Starmer’s relationship with the man who has become one of Donald Trump’s closest lieutenants.
On Tuesday, Lord Mandelson, tipped to become the next UK ambassador to Washington, and one of Labour’s savviest operators, warned: “[Musk] is a sort of technological, industrial, commercial phenomenon."

I saw a report from Thd Guardian where the Starmer regime was looking at summoning Muk (and some from other platforms) to the UK to discern their roles, if any, concerning the dissemination of :misinformation. “
Given that it was also reported that MP’s and/or gov’t officials from the UK came over to the US to help the Kamala campaign, will Trump or Congress be summoning them to the US?
The homos in England can jump in a loch. Soon they will be converting to Islam anyhow. If God can find 10 good ones…May He grant the good ones escape
*Musk
Heck anyone with an ounce of brains hates Brits, ... including Brits.
Meh! They got Ellen so.........
I have a place where the UK can put it’s summonses.
Starmer has Obama/Soros leading him around like a new puppet.
It can be lucrative for puppets.
“..It can be lucrative for puppets....”
Until they’re no longer useful.
Then, it’s into the dumpster..never to be seen or heard from again.
Poof...vanished.
LOL!
Musk should stay away from the UK. The place is full of commies and competing fascists who have no problem throwing you in prison for some made up bs. They call that “democracy.”
Yes it is, for reasons I am unable to fathom, ... Thank you for enumerating SOME of the reasons for British decline, ... I would add: She is not alone.
