Sir Ed Davey brands Musk ‘criminal’ amid call for Parliament to grill tech boss

13 comments

1. Sir Ed Davey has branded Elon Musk a “criminal”, as his party called for Parliament to haul in the tech billionaire to answer for his “fight back” or “die” comments at a central London rally

   The Liberal Democrat leader has also called for an Ofcom investigation into X, the social media site owned by Mr Musk, and the businessman personally, for failing to uphold their duties under the Online Safety Act.

   Sir Ed is expected to continue his feud with the Tesla and X owner in his speech to the Lib Dems’ conference on Tuesday.

   Asked by Sky News’ Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips if he thought the US businessman was a criminal, the Lib Dem leader replied: “Yes.

   “Not just because of the awful things he’s done, inciting violence, for example, he says a civil war in our country is inevitable, that our democratically elected Government should be overthrown.

2. This last week Ed Davey been on a generational run. All media coverage I’ve seen of him this week has been calling out real problems that other politicians are too uncomfortable with bringing up

3. I’m glad to see LibDems getting some actual media coverage the last couple of days for stuff that actually matters instead of wolf cry from Farage and Co.

4. Making in roads with the kids. Remember the last time lib Dems done that and we trusted them?

   Ended up with a Tory government and tuition fee increases.

5. Ed Davey keeps saying the right things.

   Can imagine Reform (neé Brexit Party) are also against the foreign interference of Musk.

6. It’ll go nowhere, remember this is the UK, money will make them wear rose tinted glasses that the man has done no wrong.

7. Why the fuck are we wanting to get energy from Elon Musk who’s already called to fuck our government off?

   He’s obviously going to use it against us, why do we want any sort of dealings with this muppet, even more so when it comes to providing energy we need.

   It’s all going to be used as leverage ffs.

8. Ed wasn’t that bothered about social media withholding information during covid times, or defining things as “misinformation”. But now it’s things he politically disagrees with, his tune has changed.

9. > After calling for criminal sanctions against Mr Musk, Sir Ed also “we’re a party of free speech”

   Truly hilarious stuff

10. I can see where my vote might be going next election

11. He needs to stick to practicing his majorette skills

12. I can understand why people are upset with Musk, but to his credit he has called out the Pakistani grooming gangs and also Trump for being in the Epstein files.

    It’s easy to “shoot the messenger”, but it’s Labour that could be presiding over economic and social chaos. Labour don’t understand economics, that’s not their fault, it’s a by product of socialist ideology. However, they could be more receptive to public opinion, that doesn’t want unvetted males from foreign lands housed in local hotels.

13. The moment Musk bought Twitter should have brought up so many red flags.

    X will be the first ex-social media platform.

    Fuck all of you who chose to remain there.
