Ed Davey urges regulator to go after Musk over X 'crimes'

  • The Liberal Democrats intend to use a rarely invoked Parliamentary procedure to require Elon Musk to appear at the bar of the House of Commons for a formal reprimand regarding his behavior at a London rally.
  • This move follows Musk's criticism of the UK Online Safety Act and his video message at a far-right rally organized by Tommy Robinson in central London last week.
  • The leader of the Liberal Democrats has accused Elon Musk of provoking violence, interfering in UK democracy for personal gain, and permitting harmful child exploitation material to remain on X.
  • Davey will tell delegates that Musk is determined to continue operating his social media service while refusing to acknowledge the severe damage it causes—particularly to children—and will describe Nigel Farage as "not a patriot."
  • The planned parliamentary action highlights escalating political tension with Musk and aims to enforce laws protecting children from harmful online content under the Online Safety Act.
