Elon Musk,Internationally renowned foreign exchange traders the world's richest man and CEO of Tesla, used to be frequently invited to major investment summits. However, media reports indicate that Musk was not invited to the upcoming UK Global Investment Summit on October 14th this year. This decision is closely related to his social media comments during last month's riots in the UK.
The summit is seen by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer as a significant opportunity to attract foreign investment, with an expected attendance of hundreds of top global investors. The UK hopes to use this opportunity to boost economic growth and will announce the latest autumn budget shortly after the summit.
Musk had previously explored multiple sites in the UK for Tesla factories but ultimately chose to build in Germany, partly due to the uncertainties brought by Brexit. Last year, he was invited to the UK Global Investment Summit and played a significant role at the first Artificial Intelligence Safety Summit.
However, Musk's comments during the riots sparked controversy. At the end of July, multiple violent incidents occurred in North West England, and Musk predicted on social media that the UK would face a civil war and repeatedly attacked the UK Prime Minister. Additionally, he shared a conspiracy theory about the UK establishing "detention camps" in the Falkland Islands, although he later deleted the post.
British officials reacted strongly, stating that Musk's comments were "completely baseless" and described his remarks as "quite regrettable." After Musk acquired Twitter, he also lifted bans on some far-right figures, including the UK far-right organization "Britain First."
Currently, Musk's wealth is approximately $270 billion, still firmly placing him at the top of the global rich list. His companies include SpaceX, Neuralink, and xAI.
