Why Elon Musk keeps targeting the UK Government on X
- The Trump-allied billionaire has been intervening in British politics since his row with Keir Starmer during the summer's far-right protests
Elon Musk has been actively criticizing the UK government on his social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), particularly focusing on what he perceives as threats to free speech. His latest comments were in response to a UK government request to remove a video posted by Russell Brand, who is currently facing allegations of sexual assault. Musk has accused the UK government of trying to censor content on X, arguing that such actions infringe on free speech rights. This stance aligns with Musk's broader advocacy for minimal content moderation, which has led to tensions with various governments and regulatory bodies. His criticisms come at a time when the UK is pushing forward with the Online Safety Bill, which aims to make social media companies more accountable for content on their platforms, potentially clashing with Musk's vision for X as a bastion of free expression.
