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”.
Farage and his Reform party exists. So that’s at least one MP that I could see saying yes.
I’m pretty sure even Farage doesn’t want to fly to America to get his ass kicked. He might to suck some billionaire cock, though.
I’m surprised anyone still listens to him. His whole thing with Brexit was taking the money sent to the EU to fund the NHS. It was obviously lies, but many Brexit supporters made this argument.
God, I forgot about that. I used to work in an office full of Farage fans and that was one of the most common threads back in 2016. There was a large amount of open racism, too. It was an experience.
