UK Security Officials Monitoring Elon Musk's Posts On Xitter

Incoming President Elon Musk's social media posts are troubling. If you ask Grok who propagates the most disinformation on the shithole platform, it points to its owner, Elon Musk. As if it's not enough that the unelected billionaire wants to rule the US, he has set his eyes on the UK, too, while circulating disinformation. UK security officials are monitoring Leon Musk's social media posts as a possible security risk.

BBC reports:

The monitoring is being carried out by a team in the Home Office's Homeland Security group, which is responsible for reducing national security risks and, according to a government website, "focuses on the highest harm risks to the homeland."

They are looking at the reach of posts and who is engaging with them.

A Home Office spokesperson said: "While we can't comment on operational matters, we routinely use open-source monitoring to be informed of what is being shared and discussed online."
A source told the BBC it was being done to make sure they were on top of whatever challenges were being posed by "non-state actors."

The monitoring of Musk's social media output, first revealed by the Daily Mirror, is understood to have begun after he made comments about Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips.
