British Group With Ties to Starmer, American Democrats Seeking to 'Kill Musk's Twitter' --'This is war,’ Mr. Musk said in response to the reporting. | 23 Oct 2024 | Billionaire Elon Musk is declaring "war" on a British group that sought to "kill" his X platform by using European Union regulations and legislation here in America, according to a new report. Those involved with the group that wanted to limit the reach of Mr. Musk's platform have ties to powerful Democrats and Prime Minister Starmer's Labour Party. According to documents released by journalists Matt Taibbi and Paul Thacker, the British anti-disinformation think tank, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, met with Democrats to discuss killing the X platform. "Kill Musk's Twitter," the group wrote in one bullet point of agenda items ahead of meetings with Senator Klobuchar and Congressman Adam Schiff, both of whom have been part of a push on Capitol Hill to regulate social media platforms. The goal of closing down Mr. Musk's platform was listed as part of their "annual" goals for 2024.
