Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk met privately with key allies to discuss ways of destabilizing the UK’s Labour government with the aim of ousting British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer ahead of the next election.

A source cited by the Financial Times told the newspaper on Thursday that Musk was engaging in behind-the-scenes conversations to discuss building support for alternative political movements that might put pressure on Starmer to resign.

Musk, who is gearing up to take a role in President-elect Donald Trump’s new administration, has become one of Starmer’s loudest and most relentless critics in recent weeks, firing off more than 200 tweets about the UK’s grooming gangs scandal, in which children were systematically abused in English towns, and calling the prime minister “deeply complicit.”

Musk accused Starmer, was director of public prosecutions between 2008 and 2013, of a failure to prosecute members of the gangs who raped young girls. Starmer defended his record in response.

“He should be in prison,” Musk also said.

In another flurry of attacks on the Labour government, Musk called safeguarding minister Jess Phillips a “rape genocide apologist” for refusing to initiate a national inquiry into the matter, which has been subject to multiple investigations already at the local and state levels.

The same source told the Financial Times that Musk’s talks about removing Starmer stem from a broader concern: “His view is that Western civilization itself is threatened.”

The turmoil comes just months after Starmer’s sweeping electoral triumph handed Labour its most significant victory in decades.

Meanwhile, other reports suggest that French President Emmanuel Macron and Starmer are “likely” to discuss the billionaire at an upcoming summit.
