British Chancellor Rachel Reeves criticized Elon Musk for his confrontational approach towards world leaders, contrasting it with her focus on government efficiency savings. Reeves dismissed comparisons between her cost-cutting measures and Musk's actions, stating she wouldn't engage in 'trolling presidents around the world.'
Rachel Reeves today accused Elon Musk of 'trolling' world leaders as she risked re-opening Labour's feud with the world's richest man.
Mr Musk, the tech mogul who has become a key ally of US President Donald Trump, has clashed with a string of global politicians in recent months. Mr Scholz suggested Mr Musk was 'supporting extreme Right positions', after the businessman made a one-armed gesture, which was compared to a Nazi salute, on stage before Trump’s arrival in Washington’s Capital One arena on Monday.
Mr Macron previously attacked Musk for 'directly intervening' in foreign elections, after he expressed support for the hard-Right Alternative for Germany . Asked if she was going down the same route as Musk, who has been appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency in the US by Mr Trump, the Chancellor replied: 'We want to root out waste in government spending.
No 10 refused to explicitly say whether the PM would be happy with a member of his own Government performing the same gesture as Mr Musk.
