During lst night’s discussion between Sophy Ridge and Home Office minister Alex Davies-Jones, questions were asked about Elon Musk’s alleged interference in UK politics.
The businessman, Elon Musk, who will be working in the Trump government come January, has been a loud critic of Sir Keir Starmer since he was elected prime minister.
As Sophy points out, Mr Musk retweeted a petition calling for a general election and said the British people had had enough of the “tyrannical, police state” – likely a reference to how he feels the government dealt with the summer riots.
In response, Ms Davies-Jones says Mr Musk has previously said he “does not agree with interference in foreign governments”.
“And I believe he shouldn’t be doing the same,” she adds.
‘Many will disagree with him’
“Look, Elon Musk is entitled to his views like everybody else.
“He’s a huge champion of free speech, as am I, and he is entitled to his views.
“I can disagree with them, there are many who will disagree with him, and what he stands for – and that’s democracy.”
