The millionaire X owner, who has been criticizing Sir Keir Starmer’s handling of the week-long rioting that followed the stabbings in Southport, was targeted by the former security minister in his first significant speech following his announcement of his candidacy for the Conservative leadership.
In the midst of the riots, which saw severe unrest in numerous UK cities and towns, Musk had declared that “civil war is inevitable”.
“To be honest, I thought those remarks were merely false and delusional,” Mr. Tugendhat stated. It’s challenging to determine how we behave on social media.”
He stated, “I refuse to be on TikTok because the algorithm is set by a foreign dictatorship,” using the platform as an example. Some people choose differently.”
The former soldier was speaking just hours after an IPSOS survey revealed that 36% of respondents, including those who supported the party in July, and three out of five people do not care who leads the Conservatives in the future.
