Elon Musk’s dad tells Keir Starmer to resign for sending England back to ‘Tudor times’ | Politics | News


Elon Musk‘s father has said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer must resign as he is “sending England back to the Tudor times”.

Errol Musk, 78, defended his son for his criticism of the UK Government– with tech billionaire Elon blasting the UK Prime Minister for everything from his dealing of the UK riots in the summer to more recently taking aim at members of his party travelling to the US to support Kamala Harris‘s unsuccessful election campaign.

Now Elon’s dad has also mocked the Labour Government saying he thinks that people are “in a state of somewhat shock” for its decisions so far and the impact on the British people.

He said: “England is a beacon of what we consider to be good, and I’ve always considered to be good, you know, on the side of right, and all that sort of thing,” he told LBC.

“And what Starmer has done has sort of spoiled that,” added Errol.

Elon, the Tesla, SpaceX and X CEO, has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump leading up to his election win in the US earlier this month.

Asked whether Elon was the “king” behind Mr Trump’s presidency, Errol said Sir Keir sending the UK back to the Tudor times, not Elon in the US.

He continued: “Well, first, let me say I think England has gone back to the Tudor times. Not America. You’ve just gone back 400 years with this government that you’ve got…Starmer needs to resign. He needs to resign before four years, I think he needs to resign in the next three months so you can have another election…

“But I would say the things that Starmer’s people have done, like Starmer sent 100 people from the government in England to support Harris’ election campaign, that’s crazy…”

The Labour staff who went to the US were volunteers.

Errol also questioned Sir Keir for appointing members of his Cabinet who have previously criticised Mr Trump. Foreign Secretary David Lammy has faced numerous questions after old posts of his were found. Mr Lammy has previously called Mr Trump a “fascist” and a “racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser.”

Errol said: “And the other thing is these people that he has put into Cabinet posts what they’ve said about Trump are not gross, they are way beyond gross. So, in the past if people had said things like they’ve said about Trump it would really be a duelling matter.

“If someone had said things like that 100 or 150 years ago, they’d be challenged to a duel to the death because you can’t say the things they’ve been saying.”
