Stop Elon Musk’s Energy Power Grab
Elon Musk has applied for a licence to supply energy in the UK
Musk uses his business interests to promote dangerous conspiracy theories and support radical and far-right figures – even in the UK. He turned Twitter into an incubator for rightwing hate, has made public statements to undermine the British Government and helped Trump secure a second term as US president – something that continues to change our world in profoundly dangerous ways.
Musk has made clear he is not a ‘fit and proper’ person to be given a foothold in our essential services. Giving him any influence in our energy market is a risk the UK can’t afford to take and we have the power to do something about it.
It is up to the energy regulator Ofgem to decide and we have until Friday 22nd August to tell them to throw Tesla’s application in the bin.
Will you Write to Ofgem?
This campaign has now ended
Before the 22nd August 2025 deadline for comments to Ofgem on Tesla’s application 18,778 people had taken part in the campaign and contacted OfGem.
The campaign made headlines, with coverage in the Guardian, Independent, The National, LBC, ITV and our CEO, Naomi Smith, appeared on Lewis Goodall’s LBC radio show to discuss the issue, arguing:
“When we look at the things he has done against our own country; he has said that civil war in the UK is inevitable, he repeatedly stoked the riots last year sharing falsified stories and doctored images, he has been supporting Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson’s) legal fees”
“When he ran DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) in the USA, he suggested you should ignore all federal regulations and actually called for the wholesale removal of regulations during a call he hosted on X”
We wrote to the Minister for Energy Consumers and had a response from the Minister of State for Energy and Net Zero, Michael Shanks, in September 2025. You can read the full response here.
