MP suggests Elon Musk is playing 'double game' over Ukraine

An MP appeared to suggest billionaire Elon Musk should be sanctioned. Chris Bryant said Musk appears to be playing "double game" in relation to Ukraine.

Mr Bryant, the MP for Rhondda, referenced recent statements by Mr Musk on Twitter and said there are also questions about reported "outages" of the billionaire's Starlink system in Ukraine. The MP has been vocal in calling for sanctions to be placed on a number of individuals since Russia invaded Ukraine, including former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, who was then subsequently sanctioned by the UK.

Speaking in the Commons as MPs put questions to a defence minister on the situation in Ukraine, Mr Bryant said: "Can I ask him about Elon Musk? Because he seems to be playing a double game at the moment, and his tweet earlier on this week I think was profoundly unhelpful.
