UK Parties Condemn Musk’s Meddling, Urge Trump to Intervene
Senior British politicians from Labour, the Conservatives, and Reform UK have privately urged Donald Trump’s allies to reconsider his relationship with Elon Musk due to Musk’s inflammatory statements about UK politics, including endorsing a far-right figure and calling for the imprisonment of the Prime Minister. This unprecedented meddling in British affairs by a senior US figure, particularly given Musk’s anticipated key role in the Trump administration, is causing concern across the political spectrum and risks damaging the UK-US relationship. The concerns highlight a rare cross-party consensus in Britain regarding Musk’s actions and their potential impact on Trump’s image. Despite Trump’s spokesperson reaffirming their friendship, Musk’s falling out with Nigel Farage has fueled speculation that his alliance with Trump may also fracture.
