Complete liar, they didn’t invite him because he speaks out and shames Starmer

[Cherubim]

I don't think Elon Musk will lose any sleep over it.

[bobwinner]

Elon Musk isn't gonna get involved with Labour. They are 1 term lightweights.

[ncprealty]

It’s purely political, Peter you are contributing to the demise of your country.

[Mil_Burray]

Can't have right-wingers that don't follow the agenda

[kiranranoo]

If it's country first, why is he punishing the pensioners, the backbone of the country.

[Chris-ij]

I was thinking of going into politics but I couldn’t force myself to lie

[ubergeraldine]

Country first? Thought it was Davos first!

[jaybrox]

Hahaha He would not be dumb enough to put 1 penny into British economy going down the hill.

[paulwdarlington]

Elon musk doesn’t have an existing global investment program?? What about the gigafactories in Germany and china?? What about the thousands of EV chargers? Complete tosh……

[undesignated]

Its not a government investment summit though, its private banks meeting with CEOs flogging money

[marcuspaul]

Not invited because he would of called the Government and two tier Starmer out

[valeriemiller]

All I can say is thank the Lord I never voted for this set of numpties. The sooner this governments out the better

[bachelierdrole]

What a weird interview. The GMB hosts are so irrationally hostile.

[pheeqzie]

Why even bother listening to these people who always deflect than answer questions 🤯🤯🤯

[ancietman]

Its obvious Starmer cancels anyone that says hurty words about him or disagrees with him. I would happily see Starmer upset if Musk will invest billions in Britain creating British jobs.

[terencegumbs]

...because our government is inept. Simple. Tax and spend. Restrict and destroy. Increase energy costs and export our carbon footprint. Hopeless just about covers it.

[zieeoji]

Lets not invite the richest man in the world to a investment summit. Makes brilliant business sense Two-Tier Kier!!!

[deborahcollard]

Labour are ridiculous not to invite Elon Musk !

[harrish]

They don't like his Elon's stance on free speech. and Starmer nearly exploded at Musk's comments about him. Nothing to do with anything else. Of course Musk should have been invited. This guy sounds very unconvinced of his own words having a job looking or sounding convincing - May be a robot but a robot might have done a better job.
