Elon Musk’s company, Tesla, should have its application to supply energy to UK homes blocked on national security grounds, Ed Davey has told ministers.
The Liberal Democrat leader argued that giving the electric car manufacturer a foothold in the British energy market would be “a gravely concerning move considering Elon Musk’s repeated interference in UK politics”.
Tesla has a clean energy arm and applied in July for a licence to supply power to British homes.
If the licence is granted by the regulator, Ofgem, the US company could be competing with big UK domestic energy suppliers such as British Gas and Octopus as soon as next year.
Fascist Techno-Oligarch Elon Musk obviously shouldn’t be given any control over the United Kingdom’s vital national infrastructure. His track record speaks for itself.
No private for-profit business or individual, international or national, should EVER control our key national infrastructure.
Electricity, Water, Sewage, Health Service, Internet connectivity, Roads, Trains, Military, Aeroplane infrastructure, Fire Brigade, Education, Street Lighting, Police Service, etc.
All are vital to the nation and the public interest, and should be owned by the people of the nation and managed by the democratically elected governing body the people have placed in charge to run things, without the capitalist profits driven mindsets of private individuals.
This just seems like obvious common sense to me, and yet here we are, sadly.
