Labour heavyweight Ed Miliband has told the billionaire to get the hell out of our politics

UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has accused Elon Musk of posing a major threat to Britain, claiming the billionaire backs nationalist forces seeking to undermine the country.

Speaking at the Labour Party conference on Wednesday, the former party leader linked Musk to Nigel Farage, whose Reform UK party gained traction in the May local elections. The US-based entrepreneur has expressed support for the party, but has urged Farage to step down.

According to Miliband, Farage is "a key part of a global network that wants to destroy the ties that bind our communities and our way of life." He added: "I can sum up the threat for you in two words: Elon Musk."

Miliband alleged that Musk "incites violence on our streets," "calls for the overthrow of our elected government," and enables "disinformation through X" - the microblogging platform that the billionaire purchased in 2022.

Musk appeared unfazed by the remarks. Shortly after the speech, he blasted Prime Minister Keir Starmer, calling him "an actor with an empty head" who merely repeats talking points supplied by others.

Musk and Starmer have engaged in a months-long feud over the UK's grooming gang scandal. In June, Starmerauthorizeda new national inquiry into the mass sexual exploitation of British girls, crimes largely linked to gangs of Pakistani men over a decade ago. Musk accused the prime minister of being "deeply complicit in the mass rapes in exchange for votes."
