Elon Musk will not be arrested in Britain even if he pursues free speech on Twitter at all costs, a Government minister has said.
Business Minister Paul Scully was quizzed about the Tesla billionaire’s £34.5 billion deal to buy the social media site when he appeared at the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee.
News of the deal has sparked concerns over online safety due to Mr Musk's belief in absolute free speech - at a time when social media platforms are under pressure to regulate content.
