‘He’s riddled with contradictions’: Ian Hislop praised for brutal takedown of Elon Musk ‘Have I Got News for You’ star and ‘Private Eye’ editor didn’t hold back when tearing into tech billionaire.
Starmer has been embroiled in a war of words with the tech billionaire Elon Musk, which broke out after the Tesla tycoon criticised the Labour government for rejecting a national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal.
Ian Hislop has been praised for his takedown of Elon Musk after the controversial figure’s explosive row with Sir Keir Starmer.
He also said that the X/Twitter owner’s reach is helped by “people who have been persuaded over the past five years or so that the mainstream media hasn’t covered any stories and that the only people who have noticed anything happening in the world are people sitting in their bedrooms and sending messages to each other”.
“So when you get Musk pretending to be a champion of women and young girls, and then he calls Jess Phillips an ‘evil witch’ – I mean, how is that on a scale of medieval misogyny?”.
