High-ranking British politicians have urged US President-elect Donald Trump to reconsider his relationship with Elon Musk because of his statements about the domestic political situation in the UK.
This is reported by Bloomberg.
Trump's allies inside the United States share a similar concern.
Elon Musk recently published posts on social media in which he suggested imprisoning British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to fire right-wing activist Tommy Robinson and replace Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party. Such ambiguous statements have provoked criticism from the Labor government, the Conservative opposition, as well as Farage's own supporters. Political circles are questioning the prospects of an alliance between Trump and Musk.
It is known that Musk invested more than $250 million in Donald Trump's election campaign. In addition, the businessman participated in Trump's telephone conversations with foreign leaders and, according to media, influences the formation of a new administration. However, sources say there is growing discontent within Trump's team over Musk's excessive involvement in these processes.
