Elon Musk Criticizes UK Government, Rejects Tesla Expansion to Britain

The billionaire CEO claims Labour policies deter investment, escalating tensions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Elon Musk stated that 'very few companies' are willing to invest in the UK under the current Labour administration, rejecting calls to establish a Tesla gigafactory in Scotland.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office defended its pro-growth policies and highlighted £63 billion in new investments since his government took office.
Musk's remarks follow a history of public clashes with Starmer, including accusations of free speech suppression and criticism during the summer riots in the UK.
The tech mogul is rumored to be considering a significant donation to Nigel Farage's Reform UK party, raising questions about foreign political donations in Britain.
Labour has pledged to tighten donation rules, but proposed reforms are unlikely to pass until the next parliamentary session.
