LONDON — Keir Starmer’s U.K. government has a new line on Elon Musk: “Get the hell out” of Britain.
The billionaire owner of X and Tesla has repeatedly attacked Starmer on his social media platform — and in September even called for the overthrow of his government.
Now Starmer’s ministers are biting back. Musk “thinks he can tell us how to run Britain,” Starmer’s Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, a former Labour leader, told the party’s annual conference in Liverpool on Wednesday. “We have a message for Elon Musk. Get the hell out of our politics and our country.”

The combative line is the strongest attack on Musk yet from a government that has frequently been in the billionaire’s cross-hairs.
