For several days, X CEO Elon Musk has directed harsh criticism towards the British government, primarily regarding the handling of the long-standing abuse scandal that was revealed, among other places, in Rotherham at the beginning of the 2010s.

Now, the newspaper Financial Times reports that Musk has also held talks with allies about how Prime Minister Keir Starmer can be made to resign before the next parliamentary election in the UK.

His (Musk's) opinion is that Western civilization is threatened, says a source to the newspaper.

Musk has recently given strong support to arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage's party Reform UK, although he has simultaneously questioned Farage's capacity to lead the party.

Starmer will tonight receive France's President Emmanuel Macron for talks in London about "global challenges".
