18:07Now PlayingElon Musk hit out at Keir Starmer on social media as members of the incoming US administration ramps up attacks on the UK government.
In an incendiary series of tweets on Thursday, Mr Musk claimed the Prime Minister failed to bring 'rape gangs' to justice when he was director of public prosecutions (DPP) between 2008 and 2013.
In his latest attack on the Prime Minister, Mr Musk shared a post on X which asked if King Charles 'should dissolve parliament and order a general election… for the sake and security' of the UK.
He then retweeted the thread on his social media platform, simply saying: "Yes."
Mr Musk then reposted a photo of Sir Keir, which had the overlaid text 'I facilitate child rape' to his 210 million followers.
The Tesla owner said on Wednesday that Labour MP Jess Phillips 'deserves to be in prison' over her failure to launch an inquiry, with the US tycoon laying blame at the Prime Minister's door.
Former political secretary to Tony Blair John McTernan told Matt Frei that the government needed to 'back' Jess Phillips in taking legal action against Mr Musk.
Following his personal attack on Wednesday, Mr Musk took to X on Friday and branded Ms Phillips as a 'rape genocide apologist'.
Matt Frei is also joined by former Downing Street Director of Communications Sir Craig Oliver to discuss what the government should do about Elon Musk.
