elon musk�*s interventions are helping whip it up anew, and now others have waded in.noch and the conservatives said there should be a new national public inquiry. nigel farage says he supports that too. elon musk will in a few days become part of the american administration, so he has an important international role. some of his language has been completely unacceptable, the fact that some politicians in this country are now under greater protection as a consequence is also unacceptable. but in many ways, that is a distraction. the spotlight should be on the failure of this government to have a nationwide inquiry into these grooming gangs. there was an independent inquiry set up a decade ago which spent seven years investigating abuse in england and wales. two and a half years ago, it produced 20 recommendations. its chair is now working with a new group, whose mission she says is not to call for new inquiries, but to advocate for the full implementation of the original recommendations. and her group says the original inquiry, which heard from over 7500 victims and su

part of the reason is actually one elon musk was at openai, one elon musk was at openai, one of the original a for profit, to make it easier to raise money, for example. in terms of that ground, ithink example. in terms of that ground, i think that is more about elon musk trying to basically undermine a direct competitor. he has since started his own ai company, so i think targeting its restructuring is a useful way of bogging them down legally. in terms of that second argument about monopoly i think actually elon musk is absolutely right, even though i am not necessarily sure about how genuine his intentions are. microsoft has invested about $13 billion in openai, has the right to the majority of its profits and has privileged access to its technology and that has enabled microsoft to take an early lead in the ai market and become increasingly dominant and also to prevent openai from competing directly and so i think from a fair competition perspective, that is concerning so elon musk has a point. it is concerning so elon musk has a oint. ., ., , ., a point. it would not be a business _ a p

i think the bi elon musk is concerned? i think the his prize — elon musk is concerned? i think the big prize for all _ elon musk is concerned? i think the big prize for all these - the big prize for all these people is global domination. i believe that the technology leaders in the united states all believe that their companies are sovereign, that they are equivalent to or more important than the countries in which they operate. for that reason, elon musk is particularly dangerous, because his vision is global. it is very much a surveillance based, essentially government subsidised, authoritarian vision. what i will be interested to see, and i say this with great fear, is how long elon musk can court trump before one of the other of them gets tired. he may be the proof point that being incredibly rich doesn't mean that you are either wise or even particularly smart. he is a tremendous risk taker and he's been incredibly fortunate, the risk see has taken have worked out, but many of the things he has done don't make any sense, and his daily behaviour, if you watch it, is

would you tell elon musk that he is wrong?u have distanced yourself from what he said about tommy robinson... you know what, realfriends when they meet face—to—face and they have conversations and they agree on they agree to disagree and that is what open society and free speech is all about. but have you out anyone in your team said to elon musk that his calls for tommy robinson to be released from prison, a convicted offender, somebody on the far right who you yourself are worked very hard to distance yourself from, have you told and he is wrong about that? i think you're missing the point. the point. the point is the fact that he supports me politically and supports does not mean that i have to agree with every single statement he makes on x. i think you're getting bogged down in this, i will in the operation have a conversation with him in a variety of things and this will no doubt be one of them. no doubt the media getting to hang up on this. frankly, what he says about other people, what his views on electric vehicles ar

within hours of that, elon musk orsay within hours of that, elon musk or say that nigel farage shoulded talking about a man called rupert lowe, the mp for great yarmouth, also elected in the july great yarmouth, also elected in thejuly general election, started talking about whether he should be the leader instead. it is deeply destabilising, embarrassing for nigel farage. the reason for it is very important. there is a substantive disagreement there, which is that elon musk believes that tommy robinson, who is currently in prison in this country for contempt of court, should play a role this country for contempt of court, sh

but if he's constantly having to fend off, well, how close is elon musk to tommy robinson?tical problem for reform and for nigel farage. yeah, christian, that's a really interesting point. and, you know, even among maga, the maga world here, we are seeing some some cracks there in elon musk�*s influence. and, you know, laura loomer, a far—right figure here who has obviously in the past been very controversial, she criticised elon musk when he and vivek ramaswamy, remember, the two of them are heading up the new department of government efficiency, talked about the need for h—ib visas here in the us. so bringing in kind of the top—talent engineers and that clashes with some of the america first anti—immigration rhetoric that we're seeing from the maga world. so, you know, his position is going to be fascinating to watch. but it brings me, i think, to the point that i've been looking at this week, which is the new congress coming in the 119th congress. of course, you know, it's going to be very interesting to watch. and i've been thinking about what a challenge it will be abo

elon musk has been _ feelthe need to respond? elon musk has been very _ feel the need to respond?k has been very critical, quite explicitly critical both of keir starmer directly over his time when he was director of public prosecutions in england and wales and so what elon musk said was his failure to bring prosecutions against grooming gangs. critical of keir starmer on the one hand, critical of the safeguarding minister jess critical of the safeguarding ministerjess phillips for her refusal to hold a national inquiry into those grooming gangs and as you have mentioned now, and some very stark and ecstasy language, used by elon musk, the tech billionaire, owner of x and most crucially perhaps, part of donald trump's incoming us administration in just a couple of weeks' time. so that is the context, we have had those very critical remarks over the last few days in particular. keir starmer issuing there, you had a bit of it, what was a very full throated defence, not only of his time as director of public prosecutions but also of his own government's record and his safeguarding mi

but elon musk is going a lot further. help to make his money, you can call trump welfare or subsidies and some watchdogs call it a government graph but i'm showing of the dog for a serious reason, musk is rushing to use his influence in this incoming trump administration to get the government to promote the dog cryptocurrency. as a factual historical matter that's very unusual. now, there are plenty of outside groups which have advised presidents or the government including on spending, i will give you just a couple of examples, there is a debt reduction commission there's advisors on science this is deliberately dry or boring, you will you will notice these advisory boards which are for the public good are named based on what they do, they are not branded exxon or coca-cola, you don't see an exxon commission there, that gets the word exxon running around, even if you had a former exxon official involved. but elon musk is new spending advisory group has been named, doge, to promote the dog cryptocurrency that he wants to

who to look to, you know, should those links be made then to elon musk and president trump? being had with? but, you know, reminds me of in the first term, you know, there was obviously a sense of having to curry favour a bit with then—president trump and now with president—elect trump. there are a few members of the team, i mean, we can't forget his family as well, donjr who's played an important part in some of the cabinet picks, and a sense, i guess perhaps internationally of understanding that, you know, they can build these ties with president elect trump. but also if someone like elon musk is going to have a big influence on the administration and his policies, that that's going to present a new challenge. you know, eight years ago, we started a programme here called 100 days, and the premise of the programme was that we would look at trumpism in america, but also how it reflected back on the rest of the world. and that feels to me very much where we are right now. 0bviously, on this side, there is enormous trepidation because of what has been threatened through the ca

>> on the one hand, elon musk can be a good interlock for europeans and americans p..e knows europe and germany. it is strange he is promoting the afd when a lot of the platform or ideology for the platform go against his business interests as well. certainly deregulation is important for elon musk and it is interesting to see the afd framed as the party that wants less state and more individual high riots because people are against migration and germany is facing demographic decline. it does need more investment and innovation and it needs to be pro u.s. and pro security given the geopolitical challenges the country is facing. there is a little bit of a disconnect, but at the same time, we will see if elon musk proves to be a beneficial bridge for europe and the united states. >> i guess we'll find out. in the meantime, i would also like your thoughts on what is likely to happen under a new german government. the polls you highlighted suggest the cdu returning to the lead. questions where germany is going do go in terms of fiscal policy going forward. given the cdu ro

he takes orders from donald trump and elon musk. he has fully gone in on this doge committee, whatever that is going to be, that essentially wants to rollback rights and hard-earned benefits and programs like social security and medicare. we know elon musk essentially controls the republican party. they are talking about eliminating things like the department of education. so i think mike johnson has bought in to this and it is huge for elon musk and his billionaire friends. this fight will be against the billionaires, elon musk and donald trump trying to do everything in his power to enrich his friends. >> i get a lot of questions from my friends on social media and the number one question i've gotten over the last couple of days is, do democrats have a plan and what will democrats do? it seems like you are looking to work with them but i'm looking to see where they say it will make sense to work with y'all. >> at the end of the day republican say they want to have more security, but what does that mean? it means mass deportation,

there are 4 million worldwide are using elon musk�*s company. becoming more and more important in the years to come. and, you know, from a tech point of view, how much of a game changer is this sort of technology? because it all relies on the lag, doesn't it? the fact that you can get that communication much more quickly than a satellite that's right out in far orbit? yeah, it's much closer to our earth surface, which means that things are much quicker and also it is more reliable. this is one of the things that we have to bear in mind, particularly in the last few months when we've been reading and watching news about internet disruptions, the cutting of subsea cables, this avoids that. now, that's obviously a good thing, and it is going to be increasingly difficult to try and sabotage these satellites because they are in space. but that is something that i think will help make the adoption of satellite internet more important as we start to develop these things, and as they become more normalised and available in shops every day that we see. f

anything elon will do, he'll be first in line.ot of the other moguls are like, how do i get a piece of this, how do i get that? tiktok, what's going to happen to tiktok, things like that? trump will have a lot of sway over that. so they want to get in there, in order to do that, you have to pay. >> you said something like musk , the toxic noise is the point. with musk, toxic noise is the point. >> yes it is. >> that's his brand now? >> it's sort of the flood the zone thing that steve bannon perfected. you flood the zone with misinformation, and there's a little bit of real information in there, or discontent. people in britain are worried about this topic, and then you say something so outrageous that people then respond. they're on your agenda, and not vice versa. today, all the european leaders, obviously ordinating, were trying to push back on him, but now, he's the story. which is how he likes it. >> is there a business reason to get involved in british politics, politics in europe? >> it's about control, yeah. i think get rid

what did he say about the potential donation from elon musk specifically?. he said that the 100 million that some had rumoured was for the birds, but he said that elon musk may well donate to reform uk. so i think it's we're in a wait and see mode for that. it was interesting, i thought yvette cooper, i mentioned that letter that she had written to the conservatives earlier and that we've seen a copy of. she says in that letter that for years there has been a cross—party consensus on tackling child sexual abuse, and she hopes that will continue at the moment from all this, that looks unlikely. the first big film awards of the season take place later, with the 82nd golden globes in los angeles. a win at the globes can boost a film's profile just as bafta and oscar voters are preparing to make their nominations. emma vardy has more. the golden globes kicks off hollywood's awards season with what's known as the biggest party of the year. and i've been getting a little look at how the celebrities get ready. but first, the runners and riders. here we go. you're

elon musk�*s interventions are helping whip it up anew, and now others have waded in.emi badenoch and the conservatives said there should be a new national public inquiry. nigel farage has said he supports that too. elon musk will in a few days become part of the american administration, so he has an important international role. some of his language has been completely unacceptable, the fact that some politicians in this country are under greater protection as a consequence is also unacceptable. but in many ways, that is a distraction. the spotlight should be on the failure of this government to have a nationwide inquiry into these grooming gangs. there was an independent inquiry set up a decade ago which spent seven years investigating abuse in england and wales. two and a half years ago, it produced 20 recommendations. its chair is now working with a new group, whose mission she says is not to call for new inquiries, but to advocate for the full implementation of the original recommendations. her group says the original inquiry, which heard from over 7500 victims an

and now here we are like elon musk is sort of running the country. do you feel the same way like how did we get here? >> yes. i think there are a couple maxims that i have to sort the world and i always think, especially in the last decade, you have to bet on the dumbest outcome. you cannot count out the dumbest outcome. and he is a master of pseudo- events. he throws out a lot of balloons and things do not come to fruition, but certain things do. right? he does follow through and sometimes a court will force him to buy twitter and then it turns out that he has or uses it to leverage his influence. it is frankly astonishing that we are here, but we are definitely here. >> and you have chronicled this in a great book that i recommend to people. i think i had a thought of like how much could this matter really? and i think i was wrong and i undersold what it would mean to have him running this platform and what it's influence with the. what do you think? >> yeah. i think it is easy to underestimate the power of twitter or x because it is used by so few

cuts for elon musk and his friends. that's what the fight in this congress will be. it will be against the billionaires, against elon musk and donald trump trying to do everything in his power to enrich his friends. >> i get a lot of questions from folks on my little social media. i ask, what's on their minds. the last couple of questions i have is, do democrats have a plan? what will democrats do? it sounds like they will work with republicans where it makes sense, but i'm looking to see where republicans have said it makes sense to work with y'all. >> i don't think there is a lot of places where it will make sense. at the end of the day, republicans want to have more security. what does it mean? it means mass deportations. it means children in camps. it means not having any pathways to work permits for people who have been here for 20 and 30 years. so the republicans' idea of bipartisanship is we get everything you want. you get nothing. by the way, we will cut your benefits. we distribute that wealth and give it to o

it strikes me how similar elon and donald trump are. i mean, talk about a guy with a glass jaw who really wants to be loved and, you know, just and is firing off tweets over at all times of day about various policies and you don't really know where they stand. i think in some ways they're made for each other. >> but elon musk is a rookie at politics, and he's also a very bright man. he's going to learn politics quickly. the mistakes he's making now about being two different opposite tweets within two hours, that's going to change. he'll get better at this as time. >> the thing to watch moving forward as well. we've seen the tweets. will you see the money as well. and some of these other elections elon spent $277 million in american elections. you know, this past time around, will we start to see the money backing some of these candidates as well overseas? >> kate, one of the things that elon musk has right now with donald trump is proximity. we've written about this $2,000 a night cottage he's staying at in mar-a-lago. so he has continu

when you look at elon musk is front and centre i elon musk is front and centre to everything that trumptions appointed with both very significant figures in their own right. and the world of ai, i think you will see as you might expect. i think less of a focus on to somewhat misplaced working as an previous administration so i think you will see foster innovation by the private sector, you will see more of a willingness to towards ai applications and national security and defence and finally, more protection at china in terms of restricting that. ~ ., china in terms of restricting that. ~ . ., . ., that. meta has launched a new lan that. meta has launched a new [an that that. meta has launched a new plan that will _ that. meta has launched a new plan that will allow _ that. meta has launched a new plan that will allow buyers - that. meta has launched a new plan that will allow buyers on i plan that will allow buyers on facebook marketplace to browse list from ebay. the role that will began with a test in germany, france and us first. the news sent ebay's shares are soaring 9% on wall st

amazon has asked for permission to launch broadband via satellite here in the uk to rival elon musk�*nk. its project kuiper division plans to place 3000 small satellites in orbit to offer interenet connection in remote areas. the first were launched in 2023. starlink, which is part of elon musk�*s spacex rocket company, already allows users around the world to access the internet through a network of 6000 satellites. its dominance has raised concerns about the power mr musk has over internet access in some parts of the world. for more, i'm joined by techjournalist chris stokel—walker. chris, give me your assessment of how much of a game changer this is, and was on getting into this game in the uk. it will be incredibly important because as you mentioned, it is almost a monopoly at the moment with elon musk dominating the area through starlink. we will increasingly see satellite internet provided by satellite internet provided by satellite in low earth orbit, about 500 orso in low earth orbit, about 500 or so miles above the earth's surface, becoming ever more important to reach those

so, there are two key claims that are part of elon musk�*s lawsuit.enai is abandoning its original mission to develop ai for the benefit of humanity. and the second is that 0penai in collaborating with microsoft is tempting to monopolise the industry. in terms of the first came, i'm quite sceptical. part of the reason of that is that when elon musk was at 0penai, he was one of the original co—founders, leaked e—mails have shown that he himself was pushing 0penai to become a for—profit, to make it easierfor 0penai to raise money, for example. in terms of background, i think that it is more about elon musk trying to basically undermine a direct competitor. elon musk has since started his own ai company so targeting 0penai's restructuring is a useful way of bogging them down legally. in terms that second argument in terms of monopoly, i think actually that elon musk is absolutely right, even though i am not necessarily sure about genuine his intentions are. microsoft has invested about $30 billion in 0penai, has the right to the majority of 0penai's prof

the thing that i thought he sound exactly like elon musk which is the winter elon and a justification for permanently optimistic. >> we all have a.i. and we can type in pond question super interpretive laxity and chat gpt that's everybody's exposure. down the road jensen said robotics could be the largest industry the world is ever seen he's lumping self driving under driving cars and humanized robots that's what elon musk said it's nice to have a second voice with a pristine reputation echoing that. the other thing however, getting a.i. self driving cars, jensen explained how he is working with different companies is exactly the same model the elon musk uses is settled good debate on who's winning tesla everybody has the same approach and what elon said two or three years ago. jack: were out of time but why didn't nvidia stock take a hit. >> 's expectation, nvidia is coming off back-to-back years of triple digit gains people expect johnson to say good things sometimes having widened threatened export on certain chips. >> trump threatening to declare national economic emergency to pos
