Dominic Cummings is helping Elon Musk write his vicious and personal tweets about British politicians, including Keir Starmer, senior government sources have claimed.
Boris Johnson’s former Downing Street adviser is talking with Elon Musk via WhatsApp, according to The Mail on Sunday.
Senior government figures suspect Mr Cummings has helped orchestrate the tech billionaire’s “fixated” social media posts calling for the prime minister’s removal and imprisonment amid criticism of his handling of the grooming gangs scandal.
The Met Police last week told safeguarding minister Jess Phillips not to go outside alone and increased her security after the X owner described her as a “rape genocide apologist” on his platform following a request from Oldham Council for a Whitehall-led inquiry into child sexual abuse in the town which she declined.
He has also called for Nigel Farage to resign as the leader of Reform UK, arguing he “doesn’t have what it takes”.
Suspicions were raised in government about a potential cahoots between Mr Musk and Mr Cummings after Trump’s new efficiency tsar started to coin British phases in his posts such as “two-tier Keir”.
The timings of his tweets were also questioned with many being sent in the middle of the night for Americans but in the daytime for Brits. While it is possible to schedule posts, sources concluded that Elon Musk “must have a UK-based co-conspirator writing the posts for him”.
The pair’s ideologies are reportedly similar, with them both believing “Western civilisation” is under threat by Labour policies and that Britain needs an “alternative political movement”.
An ally close to Mr Musk said: “It is 100 per cent true that they [Musk and Cummings] are talking about smaller government and the end of the traditional party system.
“It is not just Elon – Dom is in constant contact with major Silicon Valley figures, who are becoming increasingly anti-woke.”
