Description:

UK officials are monitoring social media posts by Elon Musk and others as a possible security risk.

The monitoring is being carried out by a team in the Home Office's Homeland Security group, which is responsible for reducing national security risks and, according to a government website, "focuses on the highest harm risks to the homeland".

They are looking at the reach of posts and who is engaging with them.

A Home Office spokesperson said: "While we can't comment on operational matters, we routinely use open-source monitoring to be informed of what is being shared and discussed online."
