Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a key confidant of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, has been privately discussing with allies how to remove Sir Keir Starmer as UK prime minister before the next general election, according to the Financial Times. Musk's interest extends beyond his critical posts on his social media platform X, as he explores ways to destabilize the UK Labour government. He has been examining the possibility of building support for alternative political movements, notably the right-wing populist Reform UK party, to force a change in leadership. Musk's recent activities also include distancing himself from Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, suggesting a need for new leadership within the party.
