Davey: Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence

Responding to news that an Elon Musk firm has been approved by Ofgem to supply energy to British homes, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

"Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.

"Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.

"We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.”
