“Elon Musk defends himself at a UK hearing on disinformation, calling the British government’s move a ‘clear breach’ of freedom of speech and stating he’s ‘unaware of any basis’ for the summons. His appearance came after he posted a series of tweets critical of the UK’s energy policies.” #ElonMusk #UKPolitics
Elon Musk Responds As British Government “Summons” Him To ‘Disinformation’ Hearing
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
X owner Elon Musk has fired back at the news that British MPs will “summon” him to their parliament to address allegations of spreading ‘disinformation’.
GB News reports that “An inquiry in the House of Commons is meaning to investigate the rise of ‘harmful’ AI content online by calling tech heavyweights to probe the ‘spread of content that can mislead and harm.’”
The report adds that “Labour’s select committee chairwoman, MP Chi Onwurah has called on the Tesla and SpaceX owner to explain his alleged ‘promotion of pure disinformation.’”
Musk responded in typical fashion on X, writing that British MPs “will be summoned to the United States of America to explain their censorship and threats to American citizens.’”

I’m pretty sure they gave up the right to summon American citizens when we kicked them out of our country 200+ yrs ago.
The summer riots are a direct result of them ruining the lives of their own citizens

Musk has recently been repeatedly critical of the British government, calling them out for arresting and even imprisoning citizens for sharing posts and memes in regards to the unrest that flared up earlier in the year.
At the time, Musk commented “I don’t think anyone should go to the UK when they’re releasing convicted pedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts!”
Earlier this week, Musk charged that Britain is going “full Stalin” with regards to slapping farmers with fresh taxes that they already cannot afford.

British Prime Minister Kier Starmer was asked about Musk’s latest comments, but avoided the question.

They’re going to keep coming after Musk and X for enabling free speech.
It’s all part of a bloody coverup anyway. They’re seeking to scapegoat X for the riot so they don’t have to answer questions about the Southport stabber or how they knew he was an indoctrinated jihadist for months before it was revealed, and instead chose to imprison thousands of…

British MP’s can’t ‘summon’ anyone, let alone someone abroad, it’s not in their remit. The wording is cringeworthy, these people are so embarrassing to our country. Hope @elonmusk tells them to go fuck themselves. https://t.co/nKAaJdGeur
