FT pointed to Musk's desire to oust Starmer as UK PM

American entrepreneur and billionaire Ilon Musk has discussed with his associates the possibility of removing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer from his post before the next parliamentary elections. The Financial Times (FT) reported on January 9, citing sources.

"Musk, the world's richest man and a confidant of US President-elect Donald Trump, is exploring how he and his right-wing allies can destabilize Britain's Labour government," the newspaper said, citing a source.

The publication reports that Musk is looking for an opportunity to support other political movements in the kingdom to provoke a change of the UK prime minister before the next election.

It is specified that Musk has recently become interested in British politics and increasingly criticizes the government of Keir Starmer.

Could this turn out to be a change in the head of the UK government

On January 7, Ilon Musk called Starmer evil. Musk made this statement against the backdrop of accusations against the UK authorities of covering up the crimes of gangs that were involved in mass rapes of underage girls.

Earlier, on January 6, the pre-entrepreneur said that the US should free the citizens of the UK from the tyranny of Starmer's rule. The entrepreneur attached a poll to the publication asking for agreement or denial of this position.

Prior to this, on January 2, Musk said that new parliamentary elections should be held in the UK. Thus he commented on the results of the poll on the unprecedented decline in support for the Labor government led by Starmer.
