You're both being incredibly naive. Musk isn't interested in the welfare of British/English children, he's latched on to a political hot potato in the UK and pushing an agenda that serves his interests / machinations.

I have a different interpretation of their stance/narrative. They 'pretend' to believe that Musk is genuinely interested in the welfare of English children (and the rest of the narrative as pointed out by your good self is similarly included) for the sake of the punters watching the show .. educational purposes. Of course this is not true! Perhaps naivety should be put placed elsewhere hehe.

Hopefully, if Starmer has any backbone at all, this will be the end of the "special relationship"

Let him squirm out of that one as he exits the scene .. I doubt his narrative will be worth waiting for. My guess.
