Labour heavyweight Ed Miliband has told the billionaire to \u201cget the hell out of our politics\u201d<\/p>\n
UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has accused Elon Musk of posing a major threat to Britain, claiming the billionaire backs nationalist forces seeking to undermine the country.
\nSpeaking at the Labour Party conference on Wednesday, the former party leader linked Musk to Nigel Farage, whose Reform UK party gained traction in the May local elections. The US-based entrepreneur has expressed support for the party, but has urged Farage to step down.
\nAccording to Miliband, Farage is \u201ca key part of a global network that wants to destroy the ties that bind our communities and our way of life.\u201d He added: \u201cI can sum up the threat for you in two words: Elon Musk.\u201d
\nMiliband alleged that Musk \u201cincites violence on our streets,\u201d\u00a0\u201ccalls for the overthrow of our elected government,\u201d and enables \u201cdisinformation through X\u201d \u2013 the microblogging platform that the billionaire purchased in 2022.<\/p>\n
We have a message for Elon Musk. Get the hell out of our politics and our country.<\/p>\n
Musk appeared unfazed by the remarks. Shortly after the speech, he blasted Prime Minister Keir Starmer, calling him \u201can actor with an empty head\u201d who merely repeats talking points supplied by others.<\/p>\n

Musk and Starmer have engaged in a months-long feud over the UK\u2019s grooming gang scandal. In June, Starmer authorized a new national inquiry into the mass sexual exploitation of British girls, crimes largely linked to gangs of Pakistani men over a decade ago. Musk accused the prime minister of being \u201cdeeply complicit in the mass rapes in exchange for votes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
