Read our privacy policy Downing Street insisted Sir Keir Starmer was running an “unashamedly” pro-growth government after Elon Musk lashed out at his policies. Tesla boss Mr Musk said “very few companies” would be willing to put money into the UK under “the current administration”. Writing on X, Mr Musk said: “Very few companies will be willing to invest in the UK with the current administration.” Mr Musk is rumoured to be considering a major donation to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Mr Musk said: “I don’t think anyone should go to the UK when they’re releasing convicted paedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts.” During the unrest over the summer, the billionaire had engaged with posts by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, suggested that civil war in the UK was “inevitable”, and retweeted a fake Daily Telegraph headline suggesting rioters would be sent to detention camps in the Falkland Islands.
