World’s richest man responds to UK parliamentarians saying they will call him to testify about X’s role in spreading disinformation during riots

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”.

    Does he think he is the leader of the world or something? A week ago or so, he said that if the EU limits starlink in anyway, USA will pull off from NATO

      Yes he does. As someone else stated in another thread, going full Nazi was Elon’s way of becoming President of the United States without actually having to be born there.
