Sir Ed Davey has branded Elon Musk a criminal and called for him to be prosecuted for "allowing online harm to children" on his social media platform X.
The Lib Dem leader told Sky News’ Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips the billionaire owner of X, formerly Twitter, is "inciting violence" and his social media platform is actively failing to protect children.
Asked if he is calling Mr Musk a criminal, Sir Ed did not miss a beat as he said: "Yes".
Sky News has approached X and Elon Musk for comment, but as of publication has received no response.
X maintains it has "zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material" and claims tackling those who exploit children is a "top priority".
