According to the BBC, Musk was left uninvited after spreading baseless claims about the UK during the Southport riots.
One of the richest people in the world Elon Musk has not been invited to the international investment summit in Britain in October.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is seeking tens of billions of pounds of investment from the world’s largest investors for British companies at a meeting on October 14.
According to the BBC However, the British government ended up not inviting Musk, due to the billionaire’s recent unfounded claims on social media.
It’s about Musk’s communication on his self-owned social media X platform after a stabbing attack on a children’s dance class in Southport, England, at the end of July.
Three little girls died in the stabbing, and in August violent protests spread across Britain.
Musk commented on the events at X at the time, repeatedly attacking the new Prime Minister Stramer and predicting civil war in Britain.
In addition, Musk also presented a conspiracy theory in X that the United Kingdom would build “prison camps” for rioters in the Falkland Islands.
British ministers denied Musk’s claims, calling them “completely unfounded” and “quite unfortunate”.
React in X again
Now excluded from the October investment meeting, Musk has again hit out at the British government.
– I don’t think anyone should go to Britain when they release convicted pedophiles to imprison people for social media posts, Musk claims in X.
In his message, Musk refers to the suspended sentences of those who encouraged the August unrest on social media.
However, Musk’s claim is unfounded.
Earlier in September, the British government released some of its prisoners to reduce prison overcrowding. However, there were no persons convicted of sexual crimes among those released.
