Overview

• Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey labeled Elon Musk a criminal and urged his arrest or prosecution over alleged child harm on X and remarks he says incited violence.
• The party says it will table a motion at Parliament’s return to summon Musk to the bar of the House of Commons for public admonishment, a rarely used power last applied to a non‑MP in 1957.
• Ofcom has opened an investigation into X’s handling of child sexual abuse content, following sustained concerns since Musk’s takeover and reported cuts to child‑safety structures.
• Musk told a Tommy Robinson rally by video that “violence is coming to you” and to “fight back or you die,” prompting condemnation, a public spat with Davey, and backing for scrutiny from Sir Nick Clegg.
• The Online Safety Act allows fines up to 10% of global turnover, potential UK service blocking, and criminal liability for senior managers; X says it has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material, while a senior Conservative said he did not believe Musk broke the law.
