Right-wing tech billionaire Elon Musk has been snubbed by a government business summit after he clashed with Keir Starmer in a row over summer race riots in the UK.
Sir Keir will host the International Investment Summit on October 14 – two weeks before the autumn Budget. The controversial X owner has reportedly not been invited to an investment summit next month after he used the platform to criticise Sir Keir and make unsubstantiated claimed about the UK. Investment giant Blackstone has already confirmed a £10 billion deal to develop Europe's largest AI data centre in Blyth, Northumberland.
