The prime minister and businessman spoke for close to an hour in central London, where they discussed everything from tax policies to killer robots.
Rishi Sunak has encouraged people to be 'comfortable failing' when they start businesses during a conversation with billionaire Elon Musk. The pair spent close to an hour talking at an event in central London where journalists were invited but not allowed to ask questions. Business leaders were given a chance to put questions to the duo. They spoke about how to encourage people to start their own businesses. They also ranged onto topics like how to stop killer robots.
' Mr Musk - who is the world's richest man - told Mr Sunak - who is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds - that someone's first start-up failing 'shouldn't be a catastrophic, career-ending thing'. The business leader said that, since starting a company is 'high risk, high reward', that people need incentives.
