U.K. leader Starmer slams 'lies and misinformation' after attacks from Elon Musk toggle caption Leon Neal/AP/Pool Getty Images Europe LONDON — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday condemned "lies and misinformation" that he said are undermining U.K. democracy, in response to a barrage of attacks on his government from Elon Musk. Sponsor Message Asked about Musk's comments during a question session at a hospital near London, Starmer criticized "those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible," particularly opposition Conservative politicians in Britain who have echoed some of Musk's claims. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, another target of the X owner's ire, said he is staying "cool" over critical personal comments made by Musk, but finds it worrying that the U.S. billionaire makes the effort to get involved in Germany's election by endorsing the far-right Alternative for Germany party. Starmer said the main issue was not Musk's posts on X, but "what are politicians here doing to stand up for our democracy?"
