In his latest attack on Sir Keir, Mr Musk shared a post asking whether King Charles “should dissolve parliament and order a general election… for the sake and security” of Britain. Meanwhile, health secretary Wes Streeting took aim at Elon Musk’s attacks, saying his comments were “misjudged and certainly misinformed”. Pressed if Mr Musk’s comments were unhelpful to the government, health secretary Mr Streeting told ITV News that ministers took child sexual exploitation “incredibly seriously”. The Tesla boss’s latest attack comes just days after Downing Street was forced to defend Sir Keir’s government as “unashamedly pro-growth” after Mr Musk lashed out at his policies.
