Musk calls the 'UK government fascist' amid threats to ban X - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"The tech billionaire Elon Musk has hit out at Sir Keir Starmer's government calling them "fascist" over threats to ban X. Musk stands defiant against the British government as X's AI chatbot Grok can create sexual images of people, including children. Musk wrote on X saying the government "want any excuse for censorship," has asked on his social media platform, "Why is the UK government so fascist?""
"US Congresswoman, Anna Paulina Luna, who is a close ally of Donald Trump warned she would look to "sanction not only Starmer, but Britain as a whole" should X be banned in the UK. Luna revealed that legislation is currently being drafted which will "mirror actions previously taken by the US in response to foreign governments restricting the platform." The sanctions would include, "tariffs, visa revocations, and sanctions and consequences tied to free speech concerns"."
Elon Musk called the UK government 'fascist' after ministers threatened to ban X over reports that its AI chatbot Grok can create sexual images of people, including children. Musk accused the government of seeking any excuse for censorship. Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said she would support regulator Ofcom if it decided to ban X for failing to comply with UK law, calling sexual manipulation of images of women and children 'despicable and abhorrent.' US Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna warned of legislation to sanction Britain, including tariffs and visa revocations, if X is banned. The Prime Minister called the conduct 'disgraceful' and 'not to be tolerated.'
