European leaders have criticised Elon Musk for attempting to influence politics overseas, with French president Emmanuel Macron suggesting he was attempting to “intervene directly in elections”.
Musk, the world’s richest guy, was locked up with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, after accusing him of being “complicit in the crimes” of child offenders from his tenure as lead prosecutor.
Sir Keir retaliates, accusing Mr. Musk and others to “spread lies and misinformation”, and also that “a line has crossed” through the businessman when he described the Minister of the Interior Ministry Jess Phillips as a “genocide apologist of rape “.
On Monday, European leaders also joined the complaint of the social networks owner of the site, with Emmanuel Macron de France saying: “Who would have thought, if they had told us, that the owner of one of the largest social networks The world would be the new international reactionary movement and interfere directly in the elections. “
In Norway, Jonas Gahr’s store in the country said it was also involved in Musk’s foreign policy interventions. Norway has elections later this year.
He told NRK, the country’s public broadcaster: “Going it that fearing that a guy with enormous social networks and enormous economic resources are so directly in the national affairs of other countries. ” “
Meanwhile in Germany, where the Tesla entrepreneur has endorsed the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), a spokesperson for Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Musk’s influence would not be felt in upcoming elections.
“We are acting as if Mr. Musk’s statements on Twitter are possibly swaying a country of 84 million other people with relief or half-truths or expressions of opinion,” the spokesperson said. “This is not the case. “
Scholz had responded in the past to the comments of Mr. Scholz. Musk just saying: “Do not feed the troll. “
In reaction to the accusation in foreign elections, Musk continued his attacks against Sir Keir on his platform X on Monday night.
“Oh, like this time, Starmer called [Donald Trump] racist and said that the British government does everything to avoid it?” He published.
“Or when Starmer sent the members of the British Labor Party to Crusade in the president of the United States, Trump this year?”
The dispute follows weeks of hostile tweeting by Mr Musk, one of US President-elect Donald Trump’s top aides, in which he has criticised Sir Keir’s handling of the summer riots and expressed support for jailed far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
Writing for the Sun newspaper, Sir Keir defended his time as England’s and Wales’ chief prosecutor between 2008 and 2013, the era in which he ran the justice formula when he began prosecuting child grooming gangs, and which the issue of Mr Sanchez’s Mr Musk attacks.
He has faced a backlash by the Tories after suggesting those supporting a fresh inquiry into grooming gangs have joined the “far-right bandwagon”.
The Prime Minister agreed that he needed a national investigation into child grooming gangs, and said “that’s why we were arrested” through Professor Alexis Jay, and now it’s up to the government to stick to that.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told the Commons on Monday the Government would begin implementing Prof Jay’s call for mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse.
“The protection of institutions must never be put before the protection of children,” she added, as she suggested professionals who did not obey the duty could face criminal sanctions.
An “important set of measures” will also be in the coming weeks aimed at combating the sexual exploitation and abuse of children online, the interior minister said.
