LONDON — Elon Musk “may have saved humanity” by purchasing X, a senior Conservative spokesperson declared — as the U.K.’s main opposition party continued to try and catch the tech billionaire’s eye.

“The Elon Musk purchase of X may have saved humanity,” Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith posted on the platform Musk owns Tuesday evening.

“With X becoming a true freedom of speech platform, the common ground of public opinion is no longer determined by a left-leaning elite,” he went on.

“Recent political earthquakes in the U.S., the U.K. and now Canada are a release of pent up democratic will as citizens regain their ability to speak freely.”

The high praise for Musk, who acquired X in 2022 and restored banned conservative accounts, including that of his future boss, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, comes as the the platform owner beefs with Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer and riles up its center-left government.

Musk has made frequent attacks on the Labour government over law and order, free speech and economic policy since it entered power last July — and provoked the ire of Starmer after he demanded the release of jailed far-right agitator Tommy Robinson.

I love what Musk has done and I thought the purchase of X was a huge factor in the election.

Some might say he goes a little overboard but I doubt many, if any here think that.

Andd if he did, I’d rather he go overboard a little on our side :)
