On January 13, during a post on X, US billionaire Elon Musk alleged that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer dispatched agents to the United States with the intention of sabotaging the recent presidential election. Musk’s remarks came in response to a statement indicating that Starmer had not received an invitation to the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. Earlier in January, Musk also criticized Starmer, claiming he was “deeply complicit” in a scandal related to the mass abuse of girls in the UK, noting that Starmer served as head of the Crown Prosecution Service from 2008 to 2013, the same period during which these crimes occurred.
The US presidential election was held on November 5, 2024, where Republican candidate Donald Trump, a former president (2017-2021), was pronounced the winner by major news outlets and analysts, with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris conceding defeat. The Electoral College formally cast their votes on December 17, 2024, reflecting the voters’ decision, and Congress affirmed the results on January 6. The inauguration of the new president is scheduled for January 20. (UNI)
