UK PM Starmer criticises Musk’s misinformation on child sex offences as European leaders condemn Musk’s political interference.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned those spreading false information about historical sex offences after recent incendiary posts by Elon Musk on his X platform.

Musk, linked to a future role in Trump’s administration, accused Starmer of being “deeply complicit in the mass rapes” and described him as “utterly despicable”.

European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, have also addressed Musk’s involvement. Macron noted Musk was “directly intervening in elections”, notably in Germany, where Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned Musk’s support for an extreme-right party.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store expressed concern over Musk’s significant influence in European politics.

Musk’s comments have created challenges for Starmer’s government, which aims to counter rising far-right support while maintaining relations with Trump’s administration.

Musk has called for a new public inquiry into the grooming gang scandals that gained attention during Starmer’s tenure as the top prosecutor from 2008 to 2013.

Far-right figures, including Tommy Robinson, have used the issue to their advantage, with Musk endorsing Robinson’s release from prison.

Starmer responded to media queries by emphasising that “a line has been crossed” with online misinformation. He stated that those spreading lies are more focused on their self-interest than on victims, and he calls this behaviour out as a dangerous tactic used to incite intimidation and threats.

The grooming scandal involved severe abuse of vulnerable girls, leading to convictions for many offenders, predominantly from South Asian backgrounds.

AI stocks surge amid market shifts and spending warnings

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.


The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.


Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
