Billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly engaged in private conversations with associates regarding the potential removal of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer prior to the upcoming general election, according to a Thursday report by the Financial Times. Musk, recognized as the wealthiest individual globally and a close supporter of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, recently expressed his backing for a German anti-immigration party ahead of elections set for February. He has also made several public statements regarding British politics, urging Prime Minister Starmer to resign.
Musk is contemplating strategies to undermine the Labour government and is gathering insights on how to bolster support for alternative political movements in the UK to instigate a governmental shift, as reported by sources familiar with the situation. Musk did not provide a response to a Reuters inquiry outside of regular business hours. One source indicated to the Financial Times that Musk believes Western civilization is under threat.
Previously, Musk criticized Starmer for allegedly failing to prosecute gangs involved in the sexual exploitation of young girls during Starmer’s tenure as director of public prosecutions from 2008 to 2013. In response, Starmer defended his record as the leading prosecutor in Britain. Additionally, Musk is set to interview Alice Weidel, the leader of the Alternative for Germany party, in a live session on X on Thursday. This party, which Musk has endorsed, has been classified as right-wing extremist by German security agencies.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere voiced his apprehension earlier this week regarding Elon Musk’s engagement in the political matters of nations beyond the United States.
