Keir Starmer accused Elon Musk of 'interfering in our politics' and 'trying to whip up division' on Thursday, as the prime minister met the family of murdered teenager Henry Nowak in Downing Street and backed a Labour MP taking legal action against Musk's Grok artificial intelligence tool.
The highly charged posts by Musk on X about the killing of Nowak, an 18-year-old student from Southampton who was handcuffed by Hampshire police as he lay dying from stab wounds, have intensified scrutiny of his interventions. Many of Musk's posts have echoed far-right talking points, including claims that the case shows the UK is structurally biased against white people, a framing that has been eagerly seized upon by Restore Britain, the far-right party he openly supports.
