00:00 Three weeks ago, the world cringed at the Prime Minister's fawning welcome for Elon
00:04 Musk, and this week advertisers are fleeing Musk's platform after his latest vile outburst.
00:12 So what exactly did the Prime Minister think he might learn from an unelected, super-rich
00:18 individual who had taken over a once-successful organisation and plunged it into a death spiral?
00:26 Well, Mr Speaker, it is striking, it is striking from the Honourable Member, the Honourable
00:33 Member from Cambridge of all places, of Cambridge of all places, to absolutely not understand
00:40 the importance of technology sectors and companies to the growth of our economy. Absolutely extraordinary.
00:46 It actually illustrates everything that is wrong with Labour's approach to our economy,
00:49 Mr Speaker. What the rest of the world saw was the UK playing a lead in defining the
00:55 regulations and approach to a technology that is going to transform how we live. It was
01:00 a great example of the UK leading the way, an enormous tribute to our incredible entrepreneurs
01:05 and businesses, many of which are being poorly represented by him and his constituents.
