The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Homeland Security Group has assessed social media posts written by Elon Musk as part of its disinformation work.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The Homeland Security Group (HSG) in the Home Office routinely conducts open source monitoring to help keep British citizens safe, including on social media platforms in compliance with the relevant legislation governing such activity.

As per convention, specific details of this work cannot be provided publicly as this would jeopardise its effectiveness.
