Elon Musk, the incredibly wealthy Tesla CEO, launched a series of inflammatory tweets targeting UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
His accusations centered on alleged cover-ups of child sexual exploitation cases and attacks on the British economy's performance.
This online outburst sparked intense political debate and media scrutiny, drawing comparisons to a 'pub bore' making baseless claims.
The situation was further complicated by Musk's potential significant financial contribution to the UK's Reform party, adding fuel to the fire.
